Hi all !

Since a few days my root partition is continuously filling up to 100%.

I found no file that could account for such a disk usage and when I
reboot the computer disk space come back to normal (~60% used) and
fill up again in a few time.

I ran this command :
iotop -a --user root

And I noticed two crazy processes :
  357 be/4 root        372.00 K      4.59 G  ?unavailable?
[flush-8:0]
  360 be/3 root          0.00 B   1625.69 M  ?unavailable?  [jbd2/
sda5-8]

These two processes wrote several gigabytes in less than a half of an
hour on the root partition.

I use Ubuntu Lucid with latest kernel 2.6.32-34-generic, coming back
to 2.6.32-33 didn't solve the problem. The root partition is formatted
in ext4.

Do somebody have an idea ?

Thanks !
