ext3: retry failed direct IO allocations
On a 256M 4k block filesystem, doing this in a loop: dd if=/dev/zero of=test oflag=direct bs=1M count=64 rm -f test eventually leads to spurious ENOSPC: dd: writing `test': No space left on device As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC. A similar patch went into ext4 (commit fbbf6945 ) Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
