/etc is not writeable: No space left on device?

[schorsch]

Hi @all,

TP-Link WA901ND, Gargoyle 1.7.0

Problem:

Code: Select all

root@BAR-WLC06:/tmp# crontab -e
crontab: can't open '/etc/crontabs.16205': No space left on device

root@BAR-WLC06:/tmp# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                  320.0K    256.0K     64.0K  80% /
/dev/root                 2.5M      2.5M         0 100% /rom
tmpfs                    14.1M    428.0K     13.7M   3% /tmp
/dev/mtdblock3          320.0K    256.0K     64.0K  80% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay      320.0K    256.0K     64.0K  80% /
tmpfs                   512.0K         0    512.0K   0% /dev

64KB available, why doesn't it work and how I can start cron at boot time?


[EDIT]/etc is not writeable, why?[/EDIT]

[EDIT]after update to 1.7.1 everything is ok[EDIT]

Many thanks!

same problem after a few days: cron daemon is not running, crontab says "No space left on device" and /etc is not writeable

Code: Select all

df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                  320.0K    260.0K     60.0K  81% /
/dev/root                 2.5M      2.5M         0 100% /rom
tmpfs                    14.1M     84.0K     14.1M   1% /tmp
/dev/mtdblock3          320.0K    260.0K     60.0K  81% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay      320.0K    260.0K     60.0K  81% /
tmpfs                   512.0K         0    512.0K   0% /dev

Is it a known problem?

What's going on there?

You're running out of space

4MB of flash is just not enough space for
Barrier Breaker builds of Gargoyle

You should stick with 1.6.2 on that router

Or build your own OpenWRT builds with features you need

i'm using the gargoyle-ispy http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/vi ... =14&t=6878 on a 4mb device and apart from minor issues it runs fine. Is there a way to recomplile gargoyle without some features in order to have more free space left on the device? Or maybe we could use par of tmp that's on tmpfs for something.

Thanks for your answer, I've downgraded to 1.6.2.

I build my own OpenWRT already since a couple of months for a TP-Link WA901ND v3 (Access Point Mode), but for my two v2 I need the pure "Client Mode", not a "Bridge". So far I know, the Client Mode is not supported with OpenWRT on Atheros chipsets and Gargoyle patches something.

Is there any way to get the "pure WLAN client" patch?
