Thank you, When applied this single patch on v4.18-rc4 and performed "echo > /mnt/xyz" on hfsplus_16mb_hang image, I get about 14 pairs of lines hfsplus: unable to mark blocks free: error -5 hfsplus: can't free extent Then `echo` exits with "No space left on device" error. Then it permits to perform `rm /mnt/xyz` and on `echo > /mnt/1` it responds with no space left on device (but file *is* created and is cattable). I don't know what is safer, but now it doesn't deadlock. :) Maybe it is even worth to remount FS r/o, I don't know. (Please excuse me for speculations) Thanks, Anatoly пн, 9 июл. 2018 г. в 23:35, Ernesto A.
