Assuming you're running 3.5 as I am, you can

*	$ su
* ()
*	# adb -w /etc/smgr
*	upd_time+1be?i
	upd_time+1be:		bge.w	upd_time+236
*	.?w 6000
	upd_time+1be:	6c00	=	6000
*	.?i
	upd_time+1be:		bra.w	upd_time+236
*	<EOT>
	# 
(*) = you type

which causes smgr to think there's lots of space regardless of your usage.
