Linux OS Fedora Core 3 post_create: setxattr failed, rc=28
After adminstering unix systems for over 10 years, I have come to an issue that I cannot answer. 2 of my partitions show full reported by df. When I go into them and do du I don't see anything big! They sum up to a couple of Gigs and yet on one partition I have 90GB! Inodes are okay as well. df -i shows lots of free indoe. Why are the disks showing full? Are they really?
==>df -h

1.4G .
Look at your processes, etc. I once had a Java user running some processes and Java allocated some space which is invisible to the system and my diskspace was upto 100% used too.

If single-user does clar the trouble, you likely have a process with a file unit leak (opens temp files and forgets to close them). lsof may help you identify it.

It turned out that the file system had problems. I could not see the system. It was in a remote location. The person who read what was on the screen sounded like the JFS is having problems. I did an fsck and rebooted. All is well now. Thanks.
