From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> Every now and then, xfs/168 fails with this logged in dmesg: Reserve blocks depleted! Consider increasing reserve pool size. EXPERIMENTAL online shrink feature in use. Use at your own risk! Per-AG reservation for AG 1 failed. Filesystem may run out of space. Per-AG reservation for AG 1 failed. Filesystem may run out of space. Error -28 reserving per-AG metadata reserve pool. Corruption of in-memory data (0x8) detected at xfs_ag_shrink_space+0x23c/0x3b0 [xfs] (fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_ag.c:1007). Shutting down filesystem. It's silly to deplete the reserved blocks pool just to shrink the filesystem, particularly since the fs goes down after that.
