Hello,
I was hit this morning by the "no space left on the device" symptom, probably related to BTRFS (?), when btrfs's df (znd normal df) gives at least half space free.
To work I had to reinstall on the other disk a 13.2 version (with ext4, this time).
I know it's a discussed problem, and I read many posts on the subject, but It still don't get how to solve it.
I *can* login with the failsafe mode, as root (or not), CLI only, but any action that include temp file fails with "no space left on the device", yast segfault...
I cleared /tmp and some files in /home with no change.
Is it possible to recover this? how?
thanks jdd
All of this needs reporting to both suse bugzilla and upstream. There is a horrible problem with btrfs and general defaults and usability for the normal user. It is about as ready for primetime as KDE 4.0.4 was with openSuSE 11.0 in June 2008. There is never an excuse for a new, relatively experimental, FS to be offered/proposed for user install by a distro when issues of data loss are a regular occurrence -- period. It needs reporting to opensuse so the install choices ordering and warning can be appropriately included in the installer; and It needs reporting upstream so real-world data is available to the developers, who obviously don't live in it, can have it so these issues with snapshotting and space exhaustion can be fixed before this FS politics/dupes itself into a default install on some distro somewhere. I wouldn't touch this thing with a 10 foot pole at the moment. -- David C.
