The patch titled ext2 balloc: reset windowsz when full has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ext2-balloc-reset-windowsz-when-full.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ext2 balloc: reset windowsz when full From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx> ext2_new_blocks should reset the reservation window size to 0 when squeezing the last blocks out of an almost full filesystem, so the retry doesn't skip any groups with less than half that free, reporting ENOSPC too soon.
