[NTLUG:Discuss] strange "No space" issue on /dev/md0

[TJ Davis]

while we are on the subject of fsck I was going to run it on my filesystem
(ext3) just because I wanted to but it warned me that it could seriously
damage the filesystem.  is there a switch that I can use to have it just do
a test with no fixes or do I just have to test it during the reboot?

One reason that I am running it is because when I try to copy large files
(over 2 or 3 mb) using Samba it starts copying the file and then tells me
the file already exists at a size of 0 bytes and cannot be copied.  I
thought this might be a problem with the filesystem although I doubt it so
if there are any suggestions there I will accept them gladly.  :-)

Call off the "hounds" - I proclaim the filesystem "totally crapped" - 
turning this lemon into an "opportunity" to do a fresh install on RH 7.3 
(up from 7.1), and not try to cobble together a RAID out of a disk and a 
part of a disk (as the previous installer did) - I lean toward that 
"RAID" as a strong suspect in the initial problem, though it is always 
possible it was just me.
Thanks anyway, for all your input.
