XFS filesystem gives "No space left on device" errors
Issue
- New space was added to an XFS file system and
df
shows available space. - Issuing a
mkdir
command gives: "mkdir: cannot create directory '###': No space left on device" - XFS file system generates "No space left on device" errors however there is plenty of space and inodes left.
Environment
