Root Cache Question

[MaxMouseDLL]

Recently installed Cyanogen mod 7, I'm very impressed, however I did have issues with the Market which seem to have resolved themselves since I formatted the cache.

My cache is still at 97% used though:

What can I do to free it up as I expect it will cause issues in future.

Format cache in recovery. If you're s-off, delete stuff in root explorer / estrongs or use script manager and write a script to clear it

Tried wiping the cache, formatting the cache also tried wiping the dalvik cache... still says I'm using 94%...

I am S-OFF, when you say "Delete stuff", what "stuff" are you referring to?

Whatever is taking up the space. /cache/downloads is where your market downloads go. See which directories are taking up space.

Sometims this issue is resolved simply by reflashing cm7.

Dalvik cache is not in there (unless you put it there using terminal commands and dark tremor a2sd+?) Dalvik cache builds back up on next boot anyway so if you dalvik is there it needs moving elsewhere

Or open terminal emulator (if downlaoded from the market) and type:

su
ls -lh /cache

13KB total... not the 39mb it's reporting... still confused... I'm flashing my backup stock back now... I'll play around with Cyanogen another time, it's been too much of a pain in the ass the past few days.

Cheers for the help

Does it give a Size for LOST+FOUND?
Is there a Dalvik-Cache Directory?
What A2sd+ solution are you using?

0kb

Is there a Dalvik-Cache Directory?

Not that I can see, the file structure is somewhat confusing.

What A2sd+ solution are you using?

None as yet, this is my first time running something which isn't stock, rooted the phone yesterday.

What I'll do is factory reset the phone, delete everything and start fresh at some point....

is it worth checking data/local/download

Mountdl script only works if the cache partition is small (not on free space but total space) so the script wouldnt bind in this instance. Is it in CM by default?
