I just ran out of space while compiling, and went to delete everything in /var/tmp/portage. I get the error: rm: reading directory `/var/tmp/portage/nautilus-2.12.2//work/nautilus-2.12.2/cut-n-paste-code': Input/output error rm: cannot remove directory `/var/tmp/portage/nautilus-2.12.2//work/nautilus-2.12.2': Directory not empty This is with: rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/* Also, I've got the following in my kernel messages: reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6903045: 0 of 2: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6903045) reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6903078: 0 of 4: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6903078) reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6903089: 0 of 3: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6903089) reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6903079: 0 of 3: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6903079) reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6903062: 0 of 4: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6903062) reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6903093: 0 of 3: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6903093) reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6903095: 0 of 4: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6903095) reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6909813: 0 of 3: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6909813) reiser4[emerge(11397)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:733)[nikita-2282]: WARNING: Partial conversion of 6909812: 0 of 4: -28 reiser4[emerge(11397)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2637)[nikita-3233]: WARNING: Failed to convert in release_unix_file (6909812) These warning seem to be produced at the point where I ran out of space ( I see the 'emerge' process mentioned ). After rebooting, I no longer get these kernel messages, however I am still unable to delete the nautilus folder. I still get: rm: reading directory `/var/tmp/portage/nautilus-2.12.2//work/nautilus-2.12.2/cut-n-paste-code': Input/output error rm: cannot remove directory `/var/tmp/portage/nautilus-2.12.2//work/nautilus-2.12.2': Directory not empty I'd very much prefer it if I didn't have to run fsck.reiser4 on this partition, as it's the root partition on my laptop, and I've had *bad* experiences with data loss after using fsck.resier4 before.
