It would get translated to ENOSPC if it gets propagated to userspace, but that way for devices like dm-thin or other storage array with thin volumes, it could send back a soft ENOSPC, while for file systems where "ENOSPC means ENOSPC", we can treat those as a hard ENOSPC. - Ted -- 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
