Yep.
Also happened with 2.6.23 a few weeks ago.

I'm getting an error message about it, and that is about all.
The system can still be used if it is not the / partition.

Just extracting files from a tar.bz2 to the wrong partition.

The issue starts when I try to remove the files that caused that problem.
I'm guessing that the files freezing my shell when I try to delete them are the ones that could not be fully copied: some files can be removed without any issue, and others just freeze my shell (not my system).
Once my shell has been frozen rebooting will not be possible. Probably the partition cannot be unmounted or something like that.

Right, last time it happened with a reg40 partition.
Before that I thought it was with a ccreg40 but maybe not. I ain't sure anymore.
For now my / is ccreg40 and my /home is reg40. The issue this week came with /home being full.


Would you like me to recreate that partition with 1.0.6?
Actually I have another partition created this week with 1.0.6 in ccreg40, I can easily fill it and see what happens then.



Thank you,
