Later I realised that may be what happened when this triggered. I was writing out a large file which may filled the filesystem. After reboot file in question had zero size, due to journal replay I think, but given the amount of free space on the filesystem I think it might have used all space while writing out. If this is related I will wait for -rc3 and just make sure I don't run out of space. :) (So far I avoided starting to build git trees etc) Tvrtko -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
