OK, but if exhausting the space leads to unrecoverable / difficult-to-fix data loss then it's a poor choice of filesystem for uses where a full filesystem is unlikely but remains a possibility (eg a mail spool). If /var/tmp shouldn't be on NILFS then probably /var shouldn't be on NILFS either. I recognise that NILFS2 is not yet described as ready for production use. -- Tim Bannister IT Services The University of Manchester e: Tim.Bannister@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
