Re: No space left on rfs4

[Edward Shishkin <edward.shishkin@gmail.com>]

Hello.

How long ago did it happen?
I can not reproduce such problems, so let's start with full bugreport.
Root partition can be checked after booting with gentoo-based live
CD which contains  reiser4progs-1.0.6

Thanks,
Edward.

Of course, I cannot reboot and have to shut it down myself which might corrupt even more data... If I tried to delete some files after filling the partition, at the reboot they're back and so I'm again with a couple of Kb free. Usually a fsck fixes this problem, but when I do that on / the fsck may not be usable anymore...
