Added linux-ext4 mailing list and more info from an IRC debugging
session with Brian:
The image file is on an ext4 file system. The QEMU userspace process is
performing a pwritev() system call that fails with ENOSPC.
The particular pwritev() that failed had ~600 iovecs covering about 2.4
MB of data. The file is opened O_DIRECT.
The VMs are all hitting ENOSPC when they write to the file system but
df(1) shows there should still be 48% (~473 GB) available.
Any ideas why writes produce ENOSPC on an ext4 file system with
sufficient space free?
