Michael, There are no points to argue about which are the best 'official' ways which just like a war between vi or Emacs before. I may be stupid but any methods fix users' problem are the best ones. I've tried the official 'rename' or udev ways before, but finally I gave up and end up the two way

On an ext3 filesystem, what would cause the system to claim it is out of disk space for a program writing information to disk, when df -h shows ample GB available and the file is being written to local disk rather than an nfs-mounted filesystem? I believe the hard drive is good. Ideas welcome
