Hi,

I've installed NetBSD 1.4.1 on a Dell box. There is 3000M space
in the NetBSD partition. However, when I tried to download something
(as a common user) to the disk, I was told "/: write failed, file system is 
full" during the downloading. I checked the disk usage by "du -sk", and the 
result is : 512692, which is about 512M. There should be plenty of space 
left.

There is no quota limit for a user, as shown by the following:
>quota
Disk quotas for user utwugs (uid 32765): none

Here is the information of disk partition:

>fdisk

NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 1023 heads: 255 sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)

Partition table:
0: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
    start 63, size 6144705 (3000 MB), flag 0x80
        beg: cylinder    0, head   1, sector  1
        end: cylinder  382, head 126, sector  1

        beg: cylinder  382, head 190, sector  1
        end: cylinder 1020, head  44, sector  1

Help with this problem is highly appreciated. Thanks.
