what is 'normal' ? also, please post kernel information
Created attachment 16146 [details] my kernel config gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6
Created attachment 16147 [details] my kernel config gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6
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
So... What were you emerging? Where did it stop? What processes were running? Is it repeatable? Do you know what the problem is?
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 ;)
it happened again i watched a dvd in xine (xchat was also opened)

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...
the "no space left on device" message is telling, don't you think? how is your diskspace?
my disk usage doesn't jump from 28% to exactly 100% with 0B left while i'm browsing...
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...
Could you upgrade to the latest version of any Gnome-related libraries and see if you still get this error?
i use the most recent ones already
Can you please do an emerge --debug of something and send back the log?
Created attachment 16733 [details] emerge debug output emerge superadduser --debug
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?
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
AFAIK it got fixed, could you try this again with current gentoo sources? Reopen if it still appears.
