Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-08-15 14:49:26 UTC
what is 'normal' ? 
also, please post kernel information 
Comment 2 Manuel Schulze 2003-08-15 15:19:23 UTC

Comment 4 Manuel Schulze 2003-08-15 15:22:51 UTC
sorry, added the config two times (there was an error at the first try, so i thought it was not submitted properly)

normale is a disk usage of 30% which is before the error and after the reboot
Comment 5 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-17 08:04:53 UTC
So...
What were you emerging?
Where did it stop?
What processes were running?
Is it repeatable?
Do you know what the problem is?
Comment 6 Manuel Schulze 2003-08-17 10:01:11 UTC
What were you emerging?
abiword, but it happened with other packages earlier, too
Where did it stop?
it ran fine
What processes were running?
the programmes i wrote earlier and the standard linux stuff (syslog-ng, dcron, xfs, X, gdm, some gnome-terminals, nautilus)
Is it repeatable?
no
Do you know what the problem is?
no ;)
Comment 7 Manuel Schulze 2003-08-17 12:19:47 UTC
it happened again
i watched a dvd in xine (xchat was also opened)

Comment 11 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-20 17:06:53 UTC
Since this both occurs on different filesystems [thus eliminating kernel bugs which may be to blame for this...] and your system doesn't go nuts and hang and applications still run as the temp files still have room to propagate, this looks a lot like gconf/gnome-vfs going horribly wrong...
Comment 12 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-23 17:36:19 UTC
the "no space left on device" message is telling, don't you think?  how is your diskspace?
Comment 13 Manuel Schulze 2003-08-24 02:52:49 UTC
my disk usage doesn't jump from 28% to exactly 100% with 0B left while i'm browsing...
Comment 14 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-24 16:59:20 UTC
Can you please try a vanilla kernel and see if you get the same result? Also, please run "fsck" on all your partitions from a BootCD/something to make sure they are not corrupted or anything...
Comment 15 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-28 01:38:46 UTC
Could you upgrade to the latest version of any Gnome-related libraries and see if you still get this error?
Comment 16 Manuel Schulze 2003-08-28 10:38:20 UTC
i use the most recent ones already
Comment 17 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-28 10:45:40 UTC
Can you please do an emerge --debug of something and send back the log?
Comment 18 Manuel Schulze 2003-08-28 11:01:59 UTC

emerge debug output

emerge superadduser --debug
Comment 19 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-30 12:06:16 UTC
That debug log looks OK, and I can't see any problems with it. Did the disk usage jump after that happened? If so, can you merge something like 'gtkdiskfree' and see if there any horrid amounts of temporary files? Can you try this with a vanilla kernel?
Comment 20 Manuel Schulze 2003-08-30 12:35:39 UTC
it didn't jump

i'm using a vinalla kernel for two days now and the problem didn't occur yet (which does not mean it has gone)

if it happens again, i'll check with gtkdiskfree for temporary files
Comment 21 Markus Nigbur (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-04 04:25:29 UTC
AFAIK it got fixed, could you try this again with current gentoo sources?
Reopen if it still appears.
