[Trinux-talk] Trinux question

[Greg F. <li...@gr...>]

I'm looking at using trinux for a cd based firewall solution and so far, it 
looks perfect.  It even has iptables ;o)  The only unresolved problem thus 
far is that I keep getting a message "No space left on device." when trying 
to add packages or create new files under /.  It also occurs during boot.

df -h shows a 4 MB / partition which is full, a 15.6 MB /usr which is 
virtually empty as well as a 7.8 MB /usr/local and 1.9 MB /var which are also 
empty.  Any idea why the system doesn't seem to be using /usr and /usr/local 
or why the root partition is full?

I took a look at the linuxrc script and didn't seem any obvious reasons why 
it's behaving strangly, but I've only been messing with trinux a few hours.

Also, it seems useful to allow redirecting most of the filesystem back to the 
cdrom to save on ramdisk size although this would certainly have to be an 
option.  The current behavior is very nice 'cause I can use another CD on the 
system, but for my firewall needs, I'm just going to stick a CD in the 
machine, reboot it and forget it exists...  If this seems interesting, let me 
know where I can start poking around to make the changes and I'll take a stab 
at it over the next month.

I'm not subscribe to the mailing list as the noise ratio looks *really* high 
and I don't see any recent activity so please respond directly.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Greg Fortune
