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... > >Don't we have like 5% of space blocked for this case like on other FS? or something else that would prevent this problem from happening? > > >I am using the latest rfs4 patch from here with a 2.6.24 kernel and a ccreg40 partition, but this issue has been here for years so nothing new I believe. > >Thank you, > >John > >-- >To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in >the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org >More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > > >
