[Ocfs2-users] No space left on device

[Alexander Barton]

Hi Sunil!

Are there special steps one has to follow to recover such a filesystem that has been used with a buggy kernel?

We had this problem with a Debian 2.6.27 kernel and updated to a recent „mainline“ kernel 2.6.33.x – but are still seeing the same problem: „no space left“ is reported when trying to write files to the filesystem (a few megabytes are often „too much“) although df(1) shows a lot (gigabytes) of free space.

 - Kernel 2.6.33-2-amd64 (2.6.33-1~experimental.4)
 - OCFS2 Tools 1.4.3-1

Any hints?
Do you need more information?

Regards
Alex
