So yeah thats expected, you ran out of space.  The key thing is this

Mar  4 01:55:52 vlad kernel: space_info has 0 free, is full

If space_info has 0 free and is full, then there is no space to allocate for it
and its completely used.  I'd recommend switching to the -rc7 kernel since that
has things in place to keep this from happening as often.  Thanks,

Josef
