iPod: Operating System or iTunes reports the disk is full, but it does not look full

This document explains why iTunes or the operating system may indicate that the iPod disk is full when it doesn't look full. There is no available space on the iPod hard disk when it is used as an external FireWire or USB hard drive, yet the disk looks like it is empty or only has a few files on it. iTunes cannot copy any songs to iPod even though it says the music library is less then the iPod drive capacity.

applydeltarpm

APPLYDELTARPM(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  APPLYDELTARPM(8)

NAME

       applydeltarpm - reconstruct an rpm from a deltarpm

SYNOPSIS

       applydeltarpm [-v] [-p] [-r oldrpm] deltarpm newrpm
       applydeltarpm -c|-C deltarpm
       applydeltarpm [-c|-C] -s sequence
       applydeltarpm -i deltarpm

DESCRIPTION

       applydeltarpm  applies a binary delta to either an old rpm or to on-disk data to re-create a new rpm. The old rpm can be specified with the
       -r option, if no rpm name is provided on-disk data is used. You can use -p to make applydeltarpm print the percentage of completion, or	-v
       to make it more verbose about its operation.

       The second an third form can be used to check if the reconstruction is possible. It may fail if the on-disk data got changed (deltarpms are
       created in a way that config file changes do not matter) or the deltarpm does not match the rpm the delta was generated with. The -c option
       selects full (i.e. slow) on-disk checking, whereas -C only checks if the filesizes have not changed.

       Instead	of  a full deltarpm a sequence id can be given with the -s sequence option. Such an id contains all the information that is needed
       to do reconstruction checking.

       Finally information about a deltarpm can be printed with the -i option.

EXIT STATUS

       applydeltarpm returns 0 if the rpm could be recreated or the checking succeeded, it returns 1 and prints an  error  message  to	stderr	if
       something failed.
