Just curious, could it also be fixed by mounting the FS, freeing up some space, then retrying the FSCK? Or is the FS unusable? can't mount it either RO or RW. It says the process of rebuilding tree was incomplette and I have no options to take. Corner case really. -- GJ

Are you still able to mount the fs read write? If so, you might see if you can find files to delete, or possibly the 4G file was hardlinked to somewhere else. This should list all files on the partition with the largest last. find -type f -exec du {} \; | sort -n Then wait a long time. Does t

okay, seems to makes sens. So you guys are working on it, or is the problem not quite fixable ? The underlying problem is what worries me more - the file that was deleted, but space never got free. I am about to buy larger HD today (this one was 160, I am going to get 250 one), so I can do it in
