full hard disk, unexpectedly

[rexdp]

I am using knoppix to boot linux on a Win2k machine. I have set up a 6 gig partition formatted in ext2. Last time I booted, I could set up that drive for writing and use it to download and work on programs I was interested in. There was plenty of space on the drive.

Now I started up, and after I had set the drive up to write, the system tells me it is full! A df command shows it as completely full. But I hadn't written anything new to it, and besides, complete fullness is probably a system error of some sort.

Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Thanks.
