Thread: Unable to write "No space left on Device" despite 25% Avail.

this issue has me stumped. have 2tb hard drive formatted ntfs. filled 76% capacity (459 gigs free).

running problem doesn't allow me write anymore drive. if try create directory says: "mkdir: cannot create directory `temp': no space left on device".

if delete stuff, allow me write, until reaches point.

here output df (last line):

code:

filesystem            size  used avail use% mounted on  rootfs                131g   12g  113g   9% /  none                  1.5g  304k  1.5g   1% /dev  /dev/disk/by-uuid/46583b02-1ed9-429a-8983-56ccfa48dc91                        131g   12g  113g   9% /  none                  1.5g     0  1.5g   0% /dev/shm  none                  1.5g  464k  1.5g   1% /var/run  none                  1.5g     0  1.5g   0% /var/lock  none                  1.5g     0  1.5g   0% /lib/init/rw  /dev/sdb1             1.9t  1.4t  459g  76% /media/e

i'm running ubuntu 10.04.2 lts - xbmclive dharma

behavior not happen in windows 7. also, i've done complete chkdsk scan on windows 7, , finds no problems.

cd /dev/sdb1

sudo ls -a

if have ever deleted ubuntu, store trash in folder starts .

check folder see if deleted data
