Reiserfs only has a "theoretical" inode limit, which is 2^32-1. They're dynamically allocated as needed, so I doubt you're running out of inodes. It's possible that a process has a large, recently deleted, file open for which the space won't become available until after the process has closed it. For now, there's really not enough information to go on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Btw. I am 100% sure now nothing goes to /var/log/messages, couple days ago this error happened again (~4GB free on disk, in theory) and this log file was intact -- last registered message was 5 hours ago (then). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It strips all data except for file names from the file system. Immediately after running into this problem, can you umount the file system and run: debugreiserfs -p <dev> | bzip2 -c > reiserfs-metadata.bz2 .. and attach the result to the bug? It shouldn't be too large. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So I am able to "copy" another file and get another 8912 bytes of it (but no more!). On the other hand, when I rename files in x and try to copy them back to current dir: cp x/some_file_renamed ./ I only get a name of it in current directory and 0 bytes of it.

Can you see if the same thing happens without rebooting, but with just umounting and mounting the file system again? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have had the described behaviour for the following system, so this is not a bug of only one system or arch: Linux job4 2.6.22.9-0.4-default #1 SMP 2007/10/05 21:32:04 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I already changed the harddisk, recreated the filesystem and copied the old files over, to rule out hd problems and corrupted fs metadata. But the problem showed up again now. This is what I see: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted /dev/mapper/vidvg-video 581G 495G 86G 86% /var/spool/video root@job4 /var/spool/video/test # touch test touch: cannot touch `test': No space left on device I just unmounted the volume, did a reiserfsck and mounted again. # reiserfsck -y /dev/vidvg/video reiserfsck 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com) .. Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/vidvg/video Will put log info to 'stdout' ########### reiserfsck --check started at Fri Apr 4 21:25:46 2008 ########### Replaying journal: Done. Reiserfs journal '/dev/vidvg/video' in blocks [18..8211]: 0 transactions replayed Checking internal tree.. finished Comparing bitmaps..finished Checking Semantic tree: finished No corruptions found There are on the filesystem: Leaves 131173 Internal nodes 849 Directories 522 Other files 15468 Data block pointers 129590610 (42 of them are zero) Safe links 0 ########### reiserfsck finished at Fri Apr 4 21:36:57 2008 ########### Dmesg and /var/log/messages show nothing related except for the usual mounting messages: root@job4 ~ # dmesg | grep -v SFW2 | tail -50 REISERFS (device dm-2): found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal REISERFS (device dm-2): using ordered data mode reiserfs: using flush barriers REISERFS (device dm-2): journal params: device dm-2, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30, max trans age 30 REISERFS (device dm-2): checking transaction log (dm-2) reiserfs: disabling flush barriers on dm-2 REISERFS (device dm-2): Using r5 hash to sort names The problem is gone for now. I could easily create 50 1GB files. The system is a vdr server which usually runs for quite some time without rebooting: root@job4 /var/spool # uptime 10:30pm up 14 days 7:19, 6 users, load average: 3.02, 3.12, 3.00 Hope that helps to identify the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
