Sounds like fsync issues. That is being worked on.
I'm think it's writeout that's involved, I tried to disable fsync and
it helped for apps that are calling fsync to keep data integrity (like
sqlite) but it also happens when I'm downloading files using rtorrent
which does not call fsync but generetes many little writes.
Hmm. Fragmentation, maybe? Is this easily reproduceable with a
freshly-formatted fs?
I'm just guessing here...
That's hard for me to try as I'm using single reiser4 partition for all my
data, after pushing my reset button several times I'm quite sure that my
files are safe (if I won't hit any crazy bug ;) ).
But maybe You are right, it's slowly getting full and I did rebuild entire
system few times. When I will have some free space for backup I'll
reformat my disk.
