if you try to copy a file that is not support by a filesystem you will get
Disk Full errors
EG
if the file is larger than 1GB on a dvd/iso, Fat and fat32 will spit that error.
or
If the file contains characters that are not supported by the filesystem (/?*$@ etc) it will spit that error
or
If the filename and/or Directory length depth are too long it will spit that error
or
if it is from a network it may copy the files to /var/cache before sending it to the ultimate destination /home/superlarge/volume
I dont think that is a file name or file size related issue, the 160GB source files that Im copying to the 200GB and 300GB partitions comes from a 400GB NTFS partition...
that is what Im getting with df -ih
I just downloaded reiserfs...
# mkreiser4 -V
mkreiser4 1.0.5
Thsn I did a:
#mkreiser4 /dev/hdb1
Then tryied to mount it as /home/Bodega/200GB with those results:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed to save mount : Mount failed :
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
missing codepage or other error
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and:
#dmesg | tail
ReiserFS: hdb1: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs on hdb1
ReiserFS: hdb1: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs on hdb1

how to know?
these are the reiserFS related kernel config for the 2.6.21 kernel
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=m
# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set
# CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_SECURITY=y
I think it is compiled as a module, how to load it or should I recompile as[*] instead of [m] ?

reiserfs != reiserfs4
Reiserfs version 4 inst in the main stream kernel so unless you downloaded the patch and rebuilt your kernel it isnt goin to work.
sugar2 you have run out of inodes. Even though you have plenty of space, the filesystem uses Inodes as pointers to files. This typically happens if you have lots of small files, as each file requires a least 1 inode. You have two choices here.
1 - you can grow the filesystem, this will increase the overall free space, but also give you some more inodes. This is only really a short term solution.
2 - You can reformat the filesystem. If the filesystem is a ext3 filesystem for example when you mkfs the filesystem you can provide a parameter to increase the number of inodes. check the man page of mkfs for more information.
I've never used reiserFS before so I cannot help you there.
