Getting Error: "No space left on device" for a particular filename
I have a ext4 volume with lot of files inside a particular directory.
Whenever I am trying to create a file inside it of a particular name, I am getting "No space left on device" error.
$ touch /data/lake/http:____images__br037__319854_366_tp.jpg
touch: cannot touch ‘/data/lake/http:____images__br037__319854_366_tp.jpg’: No space left on device
If I change even one letter of the filename, it works.
Here is the disk usage and inode usage for that volume:
# df -h /dev/xvdf
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvdf 985G 679G 256G 73% /data
# df -i /dev/xvdf
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/xvdf 65536000 24751661 40784339 38% /data
I ran fsck also to make sure that its not a disk corruption issue.
# e2fsck -y /dev/xvdf
e2fsck 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
/dev/xvdf: clean, 24751661/65536000 files, 182020406/262144000 blocks
Can someone help me how can i debug it further.
There seems to be a known bug in the dir_index feature (which you should be able to disable) that is caused by hashes of filenames colliding:
