Thumbdrive... Error creating mount point -- No space left on device

[Moltke]

Sometimes it is about inodes. I once had a similar issue too, and it was because my home had run out of inodes, I think it had something to do with some icon sets I'd installed by then because as soon as I removed those the problem went away. You could check whether that's or not your case, open a terminal and type:

Code:

$ df -hi

this will tell you  how many inodes are in a file system on your computer. The output might look something like this

Code:

$ df -hi
S.ficheros     Nodos-i NUsados NLibres NUso% Montado en
udev              194K     456    194K    1% /dev

/dev/sda1         113M    112K    113M    1% /media/moltke/Seagate

Where
NUsados = inodes used
NLibres  = free inodes
NUso%    = % inodes total use
If you find that your FS has run out of inodes, you should be looking for files like icon sets and stuff like that which uses a lot of hard-links and soft-links and that eats the inodes away, or at least that's what I understand.
