Well all i can say is it must have been a co-insidence then, as i have had
this happen to me, my disk was "FULL" and i got the very same error messge.
I deleted some stuff umounted the filesystem ran fsck remounted started all
the deamons and all was well, the error went away never to bee seen again.
Thats why i said what i did, as to why it happened i dont know, only that
the partition was full.
