Hi Everybody, I am working on Montavista kernel, busybox utilities...ppc processor I have 32Mb RAM. Heres the df output below:

# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 4068 3234 834 79% / /dev/ram0 4068 3234 834 79% / /dev/fl1 31968 3009 28959 9% /mnt/fastpath tmpfs 11264 7388 3876 66% /mnt/application tmpfs 11264 0 11264 0% /mnt/download #

I dont know Why I cant download more than 6Mb files on /mnt/download. It gives, out of memory. Is it the busybox utility problem or should I go for changing libraries.

Can anybody throw any insight to the problem?

Its a memory based filesystem. Maybe your systems uses 26MiB RAM already, then tmpfs can only grow up to 6MiB.

What does the "free" command tell you?

Best thing to do is use the support that you're paying out money for.

But you might want to cat /proc/meminfo and see how much memory you've got left.
