Public bug reported:
Compile this code:
#include<sys/inotify.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<errno.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int inotifyid = inotify_init();
if(inotifyid == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "Could not init inotify.\n");
return 1;
}
int wd = inotify_add_watch(inotifyid, argv[1],
IN_CREATE | IN_DELETE_SELF | IN_DELETE | IN_CLOSE_WRITE |
IN_MOVED_FROM | IN_MOVED_TO | IN_ONLYDIR);
if(wd == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "Could not create inotify watch object: %s\n",
strerror(errno));
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
Run it like this: "./inotifyapp some/dir".
On Saucy it prints this:
Could not create inotify wath object: No space left on device
The same happens on both btrfs and ext4 drives. The disk does have space
and the same partition works when inotify is used from raring.
This issue breaks e.g. Dropbox.
