SUMMARY: Disk full, but space and inodes still free - Additional info

Hi all,

Thanks to all who replied.  Special thanks to Casper from Sun who was really 
fast, plus some others hit the problem on the head (Paul Piraino, Rafael 
Angarita, Brett Lymn, Ketan Patel).  When running fsck across the system, the 
result was that there were 0 blocks free, despite there being 181Mb free.  
This caused the file system full condition that I saw.

The only solution was to move the data to another partition, newfs the 
existing partition, and move the data back.  Even with that, I still have 
disk full problems when there is 58Mb free.

fsck output before a newfs:
devel:/home# umount Build
devel:/home# fsck /dev/md/rdsk/d60
** /dev/md/rdsk/d60
** Last Mounted on /home/Build
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
163436 files, 3267222 used, 283984 free (283984 frags, 0 blocks, 8.0% 
fragmentation)

fsck output after a newfs, moving the data back, and continuing (disk full 
again):
devel:/home# umount Build/
devel:/home# fsck /dev/md/rdsk/d60
** /dev/md/rdsk/d60
** Last Mounted on /home/Build
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
170998 files, 3509262 used, 95704 free (79608 frags, 2012 blocks, 2.2% 
fragmentation)

devel:/home/Build# df -g .
/home/Build        (/dev/md/dsk/d60   ):         8192 block size          1024 
frag size
 7217116 total blocks     191408 free blocks   119238 available         430080 
total files
  259080 free files     22282300 filesys id
     ufs fstype       0x00000004 flag             255 filename length


At this point, I will leave it as I have other things to worry about (a v440 
with load average spikes of 60-110!).  The only remaining options are to 
either delete old data or grow the partition as the blocks appear to be 
exhausted.

Thanks and regards to everybody who responded!
Markus
