So it was with 2.6.24, right?

What exactly happens when you get no space left on device?
Is it a kernel oops, or just a system a freeze?
Are there any related kernel messages?
What kind of workload do you use to exhaust disk space?
What exactly happens when you try to delete files on the
device with no space left?
Is your device formatted with reg40 (default), or ccreg40 (I am
a bit confused: reiser4progs-1.0.5 are not aware of ccreg40).

Thanks,
Edward.
