Re: 800 GByte free, but "no space left"

Hallo,

I wrote am 05.12.10:

And now:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc3            3400799848 2569770888 831028960  76% /srv/MM

But after copying about 300 MByte (part of a 1.5-GByte *.mpg) I got "no  
space left on device". Looks like balancing has stolen about 300 GByte.

Time to buy a 3-TByte disk ...

Viele Gruesse!
