[PVFS-users] crash when no place left

[Stadrim.DRIM.CETMEF at i-carre.net]

Hi,

I have 10 nodes running the iod server with 60 Go on each and one
other running the mgr server.

On a client (with pvfsd and the kernel module), if I try to copy a
file when all the servers are full, the cp command never returns. It is
impossible to kill this command (SIGKILL doesn't work), but killing
the mgr process works some time, in the worth case, I have to reboot
the client. I think that the kernel module waits for something that
never happens.

In the log files, I found that all the iod servers notice that there is
no place left on their local partition, but not the mgr or the pvfsd
on the client.

In the mgr log file, there is a lot of "md_stat: lstat:: No such file
or directory", nothing in the client's log.

Pvfs run on a Mandrake 9.0 with a custom kernel 2.4.26 and pvfs 1.6.2
