2009-10-27 Thread Mitch Harder (aka DontPanic)
Since the addition of the latest round of ENOSPC fixes, I wanted to provide some feedback on problems I was having compiling OpenOffice on a btrfs partition. I had posted a while back that I would encounter ENOSPC bugs before filling up the disk when compiling OpenOffice. I have retested with
