So, I recently added some disk to a system and everything seemed to be peachy, the extending of the LVM went fine and so did the filesystem resize. However, when a user logs on to the system and tries editing or creating a file in his/hers home directory the message "write error: disk full?" appears out of nowhere.

Checking a df -h reports this: 

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 133G 109G 17G 87% / udev 3.0G 200K 3.0G 1% /dev /dev/sda1 297M 19M 263M 7% /boot /dev/mapper/vg00-lvhome 15T 2.4T 13T 16% /home

Has anyone ever encountered this before?

Sorry if the information provided is insufficient, if something is lacking just let me know so that I can provide it.

  • Is the file system in good shape? Does dmesg return I/O errors or similar? Can you create new files to /home as root? More info needed! :) Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 9:27
  • Hello Janne, thanks for your input. Dmesg does not report any IO errors. Yes, it is possible to create files as the root user. Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 9:31
  • Are the quotas in use? SELinux? File/directory permissions ok? Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 9:39

Maybe your /home partition has run out of inodes. You can check your inode usage with df -i.

  • No there seems to be inodes left, df -i reports that the inode usage for /home is at 1% Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 9:22
