SubjectCVS/SSH with ext2fs causes serious fs problems
When cvs using ssh crashes, there are some weird character and
block device files created that I cannot alter. For example, in
the CVS directory:

br--r-srwT 1 29282 25972 105, 103 May 20 2031 Entries

This happened without my paying attention and the root fs needs
to be cleaned up because now cvs cannot do anything because the
tmp directory is full. "rm", "chmod", etc... are totally
useless on these files. fsck did detect problems and I had the
"autofix (-y)" option on with the fsck run, but although it
completed happily, did not alter anything so I could clean the
filesystem.

Other than reformatting, is there another way around this
problem and avoiding it in the future.

Thanks,
Scott
