This was just the overview of all the patches.

This is wrose than a good deal of kernel panics I've had. Is 2.4.20prewhatever any better with reguard to this error? My system is running low on inodes (my fault), and back when I was using ext2 everything was fine, I would run out, the kernel would give the message about no more space on disk for everything that needed an inode until I freed up some. With ext3 I get one message saying no more space on disk and then everything else gives, readonly file system. After I hit the problem accidently, I verified running out of inodes was the problem on purpose. I would hate to think that I had to reboot everytime I filled up my harddrive, and it is an equally bad behavior to reboot when I run out of inodes. Here is some dmesg output.

Is > 2.4.20prewhatever any better with reguard to this error? Yes, this is fixed in more recent kernels. Separate patches are also available if you want to stick with 2.4.19 for whatever reason. Stephen posted a URL for them a couple of times.
