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 -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs
