On my (ext3, LVM) drive on which I perform backups, I went to copy a
large directory and starting getting loads of out-of-space errors, even
though 'df' reports plenty of room, even to non-root users.
$ df -h /usr/backup
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/sata0-backup
464G 367G 88G 81% /usr/backup
.. but:
mv: cannot create regular file `blah': No space left on device
Now, I am using rsync to create daily+weekly backups on that drive, so
there are wads of hard links to things several times over. But 'df' should
be able to cope with that, shouldn't it?
I ran a forced fsck on the drive, but that reported no problems. Any
ideas anyone?
