Hi

I have been running my hard-disk full. Subsequently I deleted 1bout 10GB, but the available space is still reported to be zero and I can still not write.The iNodes are not depleted and my reserved block are set to zero. I need help (Linux help and some psychological counseling). Here are the outputs of the various commands:

PS: I have also rebooted with forcefsck

That would be a bad idea for your root partition anyways.
You should consider to use a seperate data partition. (>400GiB ist not just gentoo)
eclean-dist -d may help a bit.
The portage logs can fill up quite some space as well.

You have run out of disk space, not inodes.

1. Check if you have ~430G of data in your home folder:
Code:
du -sh /home

2. If you don't have ~430G of data in your home folder, it means that you have some really large log file. Check your /var/log
Code:
du -h /var/log

3. Thirdly, if you really have ~430G of data you are unable to write any more because you have reserved blocks. Typically, the amount is around 5% of the total hard disk space. You can reduce this to, say 1%, by using tune2fs while the drive is unmounted - this should immediately give you some extra space to write as a user (the root already has write permission).
Code:
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda3

4. Other ways to free up your disk space is to clean your distfiles.
Code:
emerge gentoolkit
eclean-dist -d

And clean up any kernels that you are not using. Check /usr/src.

Taking into account that (unless you mkfsized / with a custom -m parameter), you get 5% of its total size (=5*451/100~22G) reserved for root-owned daemons, this partition is very likely to be reported full from 451-22=429G !
With your 439G, you are still above the limit.
Try harder! :wink:

EDIT : ppurka beats me!
So... I'll just account for the psychological support the op asked for... :D

Thanks - it was the reserved blocks - I just looked at

Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root)
Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root)

but

Reserved block count: 6007181

Used

tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda3

to set the reserved blocks to zero.

Thanks everyone for your help.

In my opinion, zero is not pertinent for your /
I set it to 0 for my /home, but not for my /var and as you do not seem to get a dedicated /var...
In my opinion, 1 is the minimum safe.
