nvram: Cannot allocate memory - ASUS WL 500g V2

[bloedefrage]

Hi @ all,


i hope you could help me.

I use the router Asus Wl 500g V2 Router with Olegs FW.

This morning i recognized the following error while executing the command "
flashfs enable":

flashfs enable
/dev/nvram: Cannot allocate memory


But this is looking well:
nvram show | grep sdram
#size: 10743 bytes (22025 left)
sdram_config=0x0062
sdram_refresh=0x0
sdram_ncdl=0xefe09
sdram_init=0x000B

AND

free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 30164 29540 624 0 3700
Swap: 522072 1992 520080
Total: 552236 31532 520704

I don't think the following is the reason (but maybe it will help you):
df -h /

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3.0M 3.0M 0 100% /



Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks for your support.

Check the folders you see in /usr/local/.files

Maybe there is a too large (temporary) file in there somewhere.

No space on root.

Hey everybody.


thanks for your answers...


I solved the problem as follows:

First of all I searched the top 50 of biggest files (/opt is my usb stick)
du -a | sort -nr | head -50 | grep -v /opt


Now I found some huge files (my scripts to protect my router) at the home directory of the root/admin user (/usr/local/root).

I changed the home directory of the root user (in the .passwd) to the usb drive and moved all files to it.

I still get the following message:
df -a
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 3072 3072 0 100% /
/dev/root 3072 3072 0 100% /
none 0 0 0 - /dev
proc 0 0 0 - /proc
ramfs 0 0 0 - /tmp
usbfs 0 0 0 - /proc/bus/usb


BUT

the command "flashfs enable" is working now without an error.


Best regards
