HD Install :: Frugal HD Install - Ran out of hard disk space?



I ran into a problem. I did a frugal grub install. Everything seems to be working. Then I ftp to the server and uploaded a 600MB file to the server. It stoped around 300MB. I can not upload anymore.

The system is giving an error no space. But I set the /home directory to /dev/hda3 which had 2.5 gig of space available.

I think the system still thinks it is running on memory. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.
try giving the root directory "/" more space too, along with /usr and /tmp (/usr takes MOST of the space)
How do I give "/", "/usr" and "/tmp" more space? I am new to Linux and DSL. Thanks.  :D

For testing, I added user "mark" and "mike". I set home=/hda3 at boottime, for some reason, in the mnt/hda3/home directory, there is only the "dsl" directory.

But when I access the /home directory, it contain all 3, "dsl", "mark", "mike"

Any suggestion?
I'm not sure that you're going to be able to modify the disk allocation for /, /usr etc with a frugal.  Would work with a normal HD install.  What do you see if you do a df command?
This is what i got when i ran df.

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

/mnt/hda3/home/dsl     3818672    277616   3347072   8% /home/dsl
/mnt/hda3/opt          3818672    277616   3347072   8% /opt

Seems like the /home directory for mark is in ramdisk. I bet that is the reason why memory is full. Why isn't it point to hda3? How do I fix this?
