What will happen when disk(ext3) is full while i continue to operate files
hi, My system will crash when the disk(ext3) is full while i continue to launch 50 proceses to operate files(such as create, rm, mv, ...). Does ext3 have such a capability to stop journaling the changes when it finds there is no space left? or which source file of ext3 do i need to check it? My System info: Redhat 7.3 Linux Kernel: 2.4.18-17 / : ext3 1.6G /boot : ext3 60M I am sorry that I will attach the oops next time since i am still restoring my poor system. :( Any opinions will be highly appriciated. Thanks in advance. :) Seaman __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com

If it's not working, we'd really need a description of _how_ it fails to take it further. It certainly works for me.> My System info: > Redhat 7.3 Linux Kernel: 2.4.18-17^^^^^^^^^ I don't recognise that kernel version, are you sure it's right? Cheers, Stephen
