Hi guys,
Today I've compiled kernels 2.6.30.5 and 2.6.32 by applying all
available patches in the SVN repository. As a result, when Bifferboard
booted with the new kernels, "udev" couldn't start up well and gave
out the following errors:
udevd-event[1526]: node_symlink: symlink(../ttyv7, /dev/char/
3:103.udev-tmp) failed: No space left on device
There were many similar messages.
It turned out that the tmpfs mount "/dev" ran out of free inodes
(there was enough disk space, but no free inodes).
Without the patches, udev needs about 700 inodes (i.e. it detects/
creates about 700 files in "/dev").
With the patches, udev needs about 4200 inodes (i.e. it detects/
creates about 4200 files in "/dev").
Udevd is version 125 (0.125-7+lenny3).
You can check if you have free inodes for udev "/dev" by executing "df
-i".
Did I miss something out? Do you have similar experience?
Best regards.
