I brought this up around noon today on IRC, but I guess everyone was out to lunch =). I've recently formatted my shiny new SATA drive as ReiserFS, to try out a few new filesystems out. Since it was a 200GB drive, and I plan to use it mostly for storing large files, I thought it might be a bit faster if I used a larger block size, I used 4096 (although I'm not sure what the default is, at the time I assumed it was 1024). If you're interested in specific hardware details, I've attached the output from the program lshw. Beware that it isn't entirely accurate; one part I've noticed that's wrong is the socket type on my CPU.
Anyways, my problem and reason for posting this is that I can't seem to store more than about 4 gigs on the drive. I can't create or move files to the drive. Example:
jldugger@jldugger:~ $ mv lshw /mnt/reiser/ mv: writing `/mnt/reiser/lshw': No space left on device
Some extra diagnostic information: jldugger@jldugger:~ $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 9410184 7957780 974388 90% / tmpfs 518296 0 518296 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda 195355016 4126812 191228204 3% /mnt/reiser
jldugger@jldugger:~ $ du -sh /mnt/reiser 4.0G /mnt/reiser So, any ideas? One person suggested that I might be out of inodes, but it turns out that the standard tool didn't work (it listed all zeroes for total, used and free inodes on reiserfs).
