fs full problem

[Daniel Moore <dxm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Create an XFS partition, then try to create a file that's too big to
fit in your FS:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/arch0/bigfile bs=1024k count=200

With delay alloc off, the dd process hangs in a write call,
with 100% system CPU time. The machine remains active.

With delay alloc on, you get a slew of page_buf warnings and
errors but not an actual error return.

(
Oh yeah - and has anyone noticed insmod still running 
after loading the XFS modules, or is that just me?
I have no idea how that's possible.
