Hi,

can you tell me why I have 9,4 GB free space on my sdcard. And I can not download 5 GB file ?

Some file systems can't hold files bigger than about 4 gig. There are potentially other issues, what file system type are you using? Have you tried downloading something smaller than 4 gig but still substantial to test?

ext4 should easily handle that sort of file size.

What error message do you get and how are you trying to download?

As in on the firs screen.

I'm downloading with JDownloader and have "Disk is full" message.

FIRST:
try doing

Code: Select all

sudo raspi-config
and expanding the filesystem
reboot.
SECOND:
the operating system takes up a lot of space so maybe its that
try

Code: Select all

df
to see how much space is left

I can't do expanding the filesystem.
Something is busy, how to stop all not necessary process ?

Sorry for this late response, I just came over this post again lol.
If your here, you can kill processes with:

Code: Select all

top
to see processes(get the pid of it).
Then do:

Code: Select all

kill <pid>
to stop the process.
You can also stop them by:

Code: Select all

killall <name>
for example:

Code: Select all

killall java
