Error copying flash

[MikeC5000]

Hello All,

I have a 3640 router with 128MB DRAM and 32MB FLASH. It is currently running IOS c3640-jk9o3s-mz.123-19.bin. I am trying to copy a new image into flash (c3640-ik9o3s-mz.124-7.bin) and receive the following output:

%Error copying flash:c3640-ik9o3s-mz.124-7.bin (No space left on device)

This is what I get when a show flash command is issued:

3640_1#sh flash

System flash directory:

File Length Name/status

1 25690048 c3640-ik9o3s-mz.124-7.bin [deleted]

[25690112 bytes used, 7340028 available, 33030140 total]

32768K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)

How come the entire image does not fit into flash when there is enough room?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Mike ,

Have you tried loading the IOS using "copy xmodem: flash:flash name" command.

If you are not able to load the IOS using above command then boot the router in rommon mode and use the xmodem procedure to load the new IOS.

Hope this helps you..

Thanks,

Satish

Were all copies from the same source file? I recently tried to restore an IOS to a 2600 by copying the same IOS to over and over. Then I made a new copy from another 2600 and tried it. Worked first time! Even though it wasn't apparent, it seems my original file was corrupt.

Use FTP , there is a limitation on the tftp file size (32 meg I beleive). Using FTP should allow you to tranfer the file

Hi,

As mentioned by another netpro, your TFTP could be a problem as well. In that case, try 3COM Daemon Version 2.0 Revision 10 before you send it for RMA
