On my system I get "no space left on device" when I reach 99% full
with about 20GB free space left on 2TB partitions.
I also use sunit and swidth for the data section of the xfs
filesystem, and it could be that the XFS system cannot allocate
space according to these parameters ? You seem to be around the
original 16TB limit, and maybe it tries to allocate
from this original disk layout ? (I'm no XFS expert, so please take my
"theories" with a grain of salt)
I recently had two "identical" partitions: A and B, where A was the
master and B was the rsync copy. These had been
written to for several years, and during that period they both have
had the role as master. I suppose the disk usage layout
was different. All of a sudden partition B reported "no space left on
device", even though partition A contained the
same data without any "no space left on device". What I did to get the
B to copy the missing data from partition A was to:
Temporarily move some data away from partition B, then run xfs_fsr on
partition B, then move the data back.
It brought the fragmentation down on partition B, and I could copy the
missing data from partition B.
