Hello, Cees!
You are aware of the dangers? I believe you have been warned, this realy is a bad idea. It is much better to clean out your disks.
Those are not mine. ;)
<grin>
I have used tune2fs NOT with "/" partition, but with "/storage" /dev/sdb1. I believe, nothing wrong will happen, when user is unable to write the sequential file, when space is off. I don`t boot from that one partition, so kernel should be OK.
Not quite. *If* you do this on a boot-disk, it is a realy bad idea. *If* you do this on a data-disk, it just is a bad idea. As explained earlier, the filesystem needs free space, even on a data-disk.
Anyway, thanks for warning. I will warn the one asked me to solve the "problem".
Confince him/her that cleaning out the disk is the only real good answer, or installing bigger disks. By now you should know enough to explain why...
Thanks, George.
