Another note is that I don't think another process has the file open - the stacktrace clearly shows that we are completely deleting the file which means noone can have the file open (if you can really show otherwise, it would be a major bug). I guess the file has been written quite recently and the filesystem is quite loaded with the IO, isn't it? Can you try mounting the filesystem with 'noauto_da_alloc' mount option? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
