I don't understand what's happening here. I'm trying to copy files to /home/dsl and I get the following error:

cp: writing `/ramdisk/home/dsl/2004_wav/onYou_al_A.wav': No space left on device
cp: writing `/ramdisk/home/dsl/2004_wav/simpleRims.wav': No space left on device
cp: writing `/ramdisk/home/dsl/2004_wav/spx_34.wav': No space left on device

at the command line I use:  df -h     (to check for avaliable space)
and I get the following:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root             3.0M  598K  2.4M  21% /
/dev/hda1             464M   49M  391M  12% /cdrom
/dev/cloop            116M  116M     0 100% /KNOPPIX
/ramdisk               96M   18M   79M  19% /ramdisk
/dev/hda5             4.6G  1.7G  2.7G  39% /mnt/hda5
/mnt/hda5/home/dsl    4.6G  1.7G  2.7G  39% /home/dsl
/mnt/hda5/opt         4.6G  1.7G  2.7G  39% /opt
/mnt/hda5/jre1_5_0.uci
                      84M   84M     0 100% /opt/jre1_5_0
/mnt/hda5/sunbird.uci
                      27M   27M     0 100% /opt/sunbird
/dev/hda6              13G   11G  1.6G  87% /mnt/hda6

I have a frugal install on hda1 with a persistent /home and /opt on hda5. Notice /mnt/hda5 above has 2.7G avaliable, and the files I am attempting to transfer total less that 500mb... so my question:  Why does it say no space left on device when there is 2.7G avaliable?

Yes, but you don't have 500mb of space in your ramdisk.

So instead of copying to

/ramdisk/home/dsl/file

you should copy to here:

/home/dsl/file

:D  I see... Now I understand. I didn't realize I was operating in the ramdisk.
