[Gumstix-users] Out of free space. Garbage Collection?

[Craig C. <cra...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've got a gumstix connex 400, and I'm running the standard buildroot
image off of the svn repository (though a few weeks old).  Ive managed
to fill up the flash on the gumstix, and Im running into a problem
when I try to delete files.  I delete the files, and it appears to go
just fine, but then when I try to reuse the space, I canot write.=20
I've tried several methods of writing back to the file system, but
nothing works.  "df" responds that plenty of room is available to
write a small file (128.0k), though writing files always gives an
error.

Im fairly certain that the problem is a garbage collection problem,
because I've seen the message "jffs2_reserve_space(): Low on dirty
space to GC, but it's a deletion. Allowing..." a few times.

Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this problem without reflashing
the filesystem?
