If you read my error report more closely you can see that: 1) filling of the root partition is not the cause 2) it's a symptom
My root partition has plenty of empty space (used 4GB out of 26GB) and the problem starts occurring when it suddenly reports 27GB of 26GB is used. This isn't related to any programs filling the root partition. It can occur at any time randomly regardless of what programs i'm running and with only with precisely one kernel version. Anyway, it's good that your message raised my attention on this report, because the bug seems to be gone in the current -11 kernel version. It was only existing in -9 and not in the previous -7. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Invalid => Fix Released -- System tilts due to ext3 fs errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
