No space left on device - but there is !   
I installed a clean M6 build on Vmware (winxp vm server 1.04) w. a 6GB disk using a partition type of 179 - the new 
filesystm.

I then checked out the HEAD_640 pkgsrc - that's a whole lot of files.
Before it finished the complete checkout, svn failed with:
Can't open <some file> : No space left on device

A 'df' shows I'm only at 29% of disk usage, but there are a *lot* of files (maybe 200,000)checked out - is it likely 
running out of something else e.g. inodes so the error message is not quite right ?

I deleted the HEAD dir and ran it again - same result, different file, but similar distance into checkout.

There's nothing useful in sloginfo.

I suspect the filesystem more than I do svn - any suggestions for something I might be doing wrong ?

Re: No space left on device - but there is !   
please see pr:57638:
 fs-qnx6 has a fixed number of inodes, set at
format time, and cannot be changed.  mkqnx6fs tries to "guess" at
how many, to preconfigure, based on the disk size; algorithm is
currently (assuming 1k blksize):

<1GB,  1 inode per 16k of disk space
<8GB,  1 inode per 64k     "
 >=8GB, 1 inode per 128k    "

What's mkqnx6fs?

It's the utility that formats a Power-safe filesystem.

Re: RE: No space left on device - but there is !   
Hello,
I guess the dinit is to initalize ( format) disk with qnx4 file system. mkqnx6fs is to format the qnx6 power safe file 
system. Is it correct?

the dinit has -l option to label the volume. Does the mkqnx6fs suppport the labelling volume. If not, how to label a 
disk for the qnx6 file system

Yes, dinit is for initializing QNX 4 filesystems, and mkqnx6fs is for Power-Safe (fs-qnx6.so) filesystems.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to label the volume for a Power-Safe filesystem.

at least from source you can see it supports that devctl DCMD_FSYS_LABEL
