Subject: [BUG: kernel 3.0.4] inconsistent lock state / deadlock after reiserfs
 root partition was completely filled.

Hi everybody!

Of course, I do know that I never should fill my root partition completely, but
a process that was expected to generate a few bytes ran away and generated
quite a few gigabytes. Killing the process and freeing disk space was not a
problem, the system was usable again. Have a look at the attached log: Is that
corner case really handled wright?

cu,
  Knut
