Hi Tao,

back again.

I have decided to install 2.6.36.1 on all clusters to see if the 
fragmentation problem has gone.

Unfortunately the problem persists, even if with different sympthoms.

Last week i had the same enospace problem but this time it was 
consistent on both nodes (on both of them i couldn't even "touch" a 
single file".
Previously i was able to touch it and sometimes to write several Mb to a 
single file.

This time df was reporting about 49% of disk usage.

I'm attaching the stat_sysdir output for both nodes. Kernel is a vanilla 
2.6.36.1.

Am i missing something ?
Is this fragmentation ?
Did i hit a bug or rhe problem is between the keyboard and the chair ?

Thanks for your help.

Massimo

P.S.: if you could explain how to interpret the stat_sysdir output i 
could be less tedius and write less mails!
