just to confirm, i had the same error. i thought it would be unrelated 
to the partition filling up but reading your post i do believe otherwise 
now. in my case i restored my fs from a recent backup.

could it really be that a released filesystem (reiser4) cannot handle a 
partition that's filled up to the max without damaging filesystem 
structures? can somebody from the reiser4 crew comment on this?

kind regards,
michael
