my home directory is using xfs and i noticed that when i try to compile a program or do any kind of disk access (like git pull, etc) the amount of space used jumps by tens of gigabytes causing the disk to seemingly become full (eventually). on reboot the used disk space goes back to the correct value. i did a 'git bisect start -- fs/xfs' and i tracked it down to commit 6e857567dbbfe14dd6cc3f7414671b047b1ff5c7. if i revert this patch then disk usage doesn't increase unexpectedly (i have 270GB free and the disk became full by simply trying to compile wine). i can try patches if somebody comes up with one. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. | _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
