Incorrect Disk Space Of External Disk

I have an external disk connected to a raspberry pi to act as a nas, which I am accessing from a linux mint desktop machine.
The nas disk is 30GB, but according to my desktop machine, which connects through the file browser via samba, only around 318MB are reported as available.
If I try to copy a 400MB file it tells me there is insufficient space.
The disk is currently empty, so all 30GB should be available.

On the nas box, cfdisk seems to report the disk size and the partition size correctly:
Code:
                          cfdisk (util-linux 2.20.1)

                              Disk Drive: /dev/sda
                        Size: 30016659456 bytes, 30.0 GB
              Heads: 64   Sectors per Track: 32   Cylinders: 28626

    Name        Flags      Part Type  FS Type          [Label]        Size (MB)

I'm not sure where to look next.

Need Larger Tmp Space - Error Writing Temporary File: No Space Left On Device

Hello,

I am performing work on a particularly large set of files (around 5GB in total). I get the message: error writing temporary file: No space left on device when trying to run my script and presume it's because of the 2GB limit on my tmp folder.

How do either:

a) increase the size of my tmp folder
b) tell my process to use another folder instead of tmp?

No Space Left On Device When Doing Update.

I was trying to do an update using Update Manager and I got the error message:

No space left on device), E:IO Error saving source cache, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I have attached a copy of my disk usage and it shows root as 100%. I thought that I had put the Home folder on it's own partition but I guess not.

I have also included the results of the ls -l command but fail to see what is using the space.

I am using LinuxMint Linux version 3.11-2-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.1 (Debian 4.8.1-10) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1 (2013-11-13)

Thanks for your help in advance.

How can I mount space on root folder or ( / ) folder.

Allot Free Space From One Partition To Other

I have a RHEL 5.3 machine with the following partitions and free space:

Free space on the partitions
/ : 74GB
/boot : 81MB
/var : 73GB
/home : 37GB
/icat : 758MB
/opt : 1.5GB

Now is it possible to allot a free space of some other partitions to /opt? I want around 100 GB more space on /opt. Thus, if it is possible I could move 50GB from /var and /20 GB from /home to /opt. This can make at least 70 GB space available.
What are other possible ways to increase space on /opt?
Thanks in advance !!!

Record Buffer Provided By Awk

we do have a record buffer in awk utility that holds one complete record of a data file.

I want to know that if record buffer changes during script processing, then when are these changes reflected back to the data file?

Are they reflected immediately or is there an in-built mechanism available to schedule this change?
