Hi!

I'm trying to free space by truncating big file, and I get:

root at fic-gta01:~# ls -al gps.nmea 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      2332070 Feb 19 22:13 gps.nmea
root at fic-gta01:~# > gps.nmea 
-sh: cannot create gps.nmea: No space left on device
root at fic-gta01:~# rm gps.nmea
root at fic-gta01:~# > gps.nmea
root at fic-gta01:~# 

:-(

Kernel is not-so-ancient, on openmoko:

root at fic-gta01:~# uname -a
Linux fic-gta01 2.6.24 #1 PREEMPT Mon Feb 18 21:30:53 GMT 2008 armv4tl
unknown
root at fic-gta01:~#
