https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31542 Summary: ext4 : "No space left on the device" persists even when I deleted more than 40GB of data Product: File System Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 2.6.37.2 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: ext4 AssignedTo: fs_ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: tavvva@xxxxxxxx Regression: No 1.) I recently filled my data partition full and got an error dialog, that there's no space left on the device (Resume, Retry, Skip, Abort, ... don't remember exactly) 2.) I used different terminal in order to move some of the big files (more than 40GB in total) from the affected partition to a different harddrive. But df was still showing 0 bytes available. 3.) Even of that I tried to resume the copying mentioned in point 1.) and it worked ... the copying was finished successfuly. What a magic! 4.) The situation changed after the reboot. I cannot copy new files to the affected partition anymore even if there must be at least 30GB of space left. This is what df returns: ------------------------- Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md6 1209519868 1175334268 0 100% /mnt/data The difference between total and used blocks gives more than 32GB and I'm sure that yesterday this space was filled with data. I'm willing to do any non-destructive tests and collect any debug logs You need in order to find the root cause of this issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
