[Ocfs2-users] No Space left on the device.

[Brian Kroth]

I also have a mail volume hosted on OCFS2 and I'm somewhat concerned
about /when/ we will run into this problem and what we can do to help
avoid too much hurt when it happens.

Are there any tips on reading the output of stat_sysdir.sh?  The man
page wasn't especially helpful, but I'm guessing I'm looking at the
Contig column for "enough" clusters > 511.  I can post the output if
you'd prefer.


As mentioned in the bug (didn't think it was a proper place for
discussion) I'm also curious more generally about backporting these
fixes to the 2.6.32 kernel since it's been designated long term stable.
Is that responsibility just on the individual distro's kernel maintainer
or are the OCFS2 devs planning on submitting fixes to the mainline
2.6.32 tree?

Thanks,
Brian
