I had the same problem, too; in my case, I had enough free space, but I was out of inodes. You can check if it is the case for you with this command:
df -i If the percentage of used inodes is near 100%, you can probably solve by deleting something (folders with tons of small files are your enemy). It would be nice to understand why the problem arises, though; maybe some badly tuned default params for small partitions? I'm using a netbook with a 4GB SSD disk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/893681 Title: No space left on device during kernel update on btrfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/btrfs/+bug/893681/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
