No more files could be created after the file system was enlarged
Issue
- Some files systems were having space problems and these were resized.
The files system were EXT4 and in the logs we could see these messages:
Jan 31 16:43:37 server kernel: EXT4-fs: Can't allocate: Allocation context details:
Jan 31 16:43:37 server kernel: EXT4-fs: status 1 flags 2080

Jan 31 16:43:37 server kernel: 120: 32255/0
After this, the file system could not be used correctly and no more files could be created.
