Subjectstrange error with ext2fs on a ramdisk
Date
From

While developing an embedded Linux kernel (version 2.1.79) on an
MPC860 (PowerPC Core), the following behaviour can be observed.

We load the root file system from a compressed initrd from FLASH
RAM. The system boots okay, but if create filesand delete them
immediatly afterwards, the ext2 code reports that there is no space on
the file system, but `df' and `df -i' shows that there is space and
free inodes.

If you create 100 files and then delete them all everything is okay.

We are going to test this a little bit to get more hard facts, but i
assume the error is somewhere in the dentry code. Is this a known bug,
so that we should upgrade to a newer version of the kernel?
