[2.4.18]: Reiserfs: vs-2120: add_save_link: insert_item returned -28
Hello list,
Today I discovered I could no longer create files on one of my boxes, which still runs 2.4.18 (box is too far away to upgrade right now). It gives me 'disk full' messages.
The following message is all over my logs since January 3:
vs-2120: add_save_link: insert_item returned -28
I can't seem to find much on this issue, is this a bug in reiserfs (which is fixed in a later version)? Is something wrong with the fs itself?
Thanks for answers.

This is just a warning. You should be able to free some disk space by removing some files.

there is no need for a warning at all, it is a normal condition, and returning ENOSPACE says all that we should say.

At this case we do not return ENOSPC. Operation which failed due to ENOSPC was "save link" insertion. The major operation (unlink or truncate) just continues without "save links". (save link are used to be able to complete removal of unlinked/truncated files on reboot if they did not manage to get properly removed/truncated due to unclean shutdown).

so it is a real bug which can result in space leaks?

It's a limitation. The only way around it would be to somehow reserve the space for the savelink when you create the file. It's a rare case and the FS carries on as best it can.

Yes, it is fixed in newer kernels.

This is just a warning. You should be able to free some disk space by removing some files.
Is this just the *obvious* "removing files frees space", or is there some sort of garbage collection that will be triggered, so removing a 1K file will make it redo tables/linked lists/whatever and return lots of blocks that used to contain metadata?
