I've a recurrent problem... I have a disk Maxtor 120Go with a 112Go reiserfs partition with my data fresly fomatted after i have use cfdisk to make partitions, reboot, and mkfs.reiserfs its.... I've backup temporarely all my data on a 160 Go reseirfs partition on another HD. So the last step is to copy back the data from the 160Go partition on my 112Go one. to do it i use cp from shell. there is about 90Go to transfer. And after a while (even at 56Mb/s), the copy stop and there are severals lines saying:

Code:
cp: writing `/mnt/DATA112/**********************: No space left on device

so i check with a df:
Code:
/dev/hdc2             107G   60G   47G  57% /mnt/DATA112

... I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ? ... 8O 8O


If i overwrite by cp a second time files that have 0 file length, that's work ...
Any idea ? :idea:

I use
Code:
*  sys-fs/reiserfsprogs
      Latest version available: 3.6.11
      Latest version installed: 3.6.11

Linux ****** 2.4.25-grsec-1.9.14 #1 Mon Feb 23 11:43:24 CET 2004 i686 AMD Athlon(tm)  AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

and i was operating this on shell under Xwindow...

I know reiserfs is great, i use since a lot now without problems... i wonder if it's because it was big files but it's my first problem. That could make me have a doubt righ now with reiserfs ... :evil:


Any idea, suggestions are welcome ...

Perhaps you're out of inodes. Do you have a lot of small files?

If i count files in there:

It's mainly big files so i still don't know why ?
