I explained what I think Ronan's issue is in another part of the
thread
just now.  I don't think that's a severe issue at
all.  Annoying?  Sure,
but I'm more concerned with the underlying ENOSPC issue.  Without
more
info, I don't know what the cause of it is and when it was
introduced.
Sorry, but I really need to humbly disagree with you. Look to what has
already happened to me when the problem occurred (which is almost every
day):

1) Firefox crash;
2) Libreoffice crash (auto-save stop working);
3) Can't save my work in any text editor (vim, neovim, gedit, etc.);
4) Sometimes I can't even log as root (in TTY or by `su`);
5) Sometimes only a hard-reset solves the problem;
6) I was left with a broken operational system when the problem
occurred during a `zypper dup`.

I just can't tell you how much work I lost during those situations. So,
I think we cannot call this issue just annoying. I think it is very
severe.
Sorry, I miscommunicated there.  The WARN_ON is annoying.  It's the
underlying issue that's causing you to lose work that is the one that
concerns me.

-Jeff
