Does anyone have a trick to getting this volume back up and running? Any help would be great!! Thanks guys -- Shawn Dakin (CNE) Director of Technology Newcomerstown Schools 659 S.

Start with a 3.6 kernel (which has lots of ENOSPC fixes in it). Try mounting with -o ro, which won't allow you to modify anything but may show you if the FS is at least mountable in that state (and will give you the capability to copy the data elsewhere in extremis). If you're lucky, that mount may then allow you to mount it again without the -o ro.

It does mount fine ro so I can access the files. Any ideas on getting access to delete a few log files or snapshots so I can mount the volume rw? If not I will just copy it off onto another, but that will be time consuming.

Then I cleaned the junk out and then copied the data back to the original device which I had wiped. Total recovery time 4 hours. Thanks for the hint Hugo, I don't know why it never occurred to me to mount it read only.
