Entware and space on usb stick

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi I followed this guide to install Entware, the one with the swap partition
http://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/wiki/HowToConfigureEntware

I use a 2Gb usb stick

After that I started to install various program, for example nano etc etc...

So I tried to install pyload (I don't know if works, but the package is 
present), when it download the dependency files, make me this error

 * pkg_write_filelist: Failed to open //opt/lib/opkg/info/python-django.list: No space left on device.

but I've space on device

How it's possible, where's my mistake?

Hi,

I encountered the same problem. Also, any attempts to write something to usb 
drive fail:
/opt/home/admin # echo 'hi' > ./tmp
-sh: can't create ./tmp: No space left on device

Problem solved. It comes out that the file system ran out of inodes. This can 
be checked with 'df -i'. 
By default, mkfs has allocated around 7200 inodes on a 8Gb usb stick, which 
apparently is not enough for some packages. To increase this value, I 
reformatted the volume with -N parameter, e.g.:

mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -T largefile -L Main -N 256000 /dev/sda1
Please note that this will destroy the data, and corresponding backup steps 
should be taken.

On the small usb stick you must use mkfs without '-T largefile'
