Cannot write to file: disk full

All of a sudden opera(6.1 linux) started giving me this error and not displaying the entire page or not showing certian images. Its kinda random and i don't have a full disk. i cleared the cache. I even rebooted in case sonething got messed up, but no help.

i just noticed that clearing the cache does temporarily alleviate the problem

fuck it. Disk was full. Endeavour just lied to me and said i have 2 gigs free. Why?

What type of filesystem is being lied about?

ext3. I deleted about 2gig of stuff, dl'd an 18 mb file and its 'full' again. i'm running e2fsk now.

it is giving a bunch of errors of the form:
Inode 325626, i_blocks is 64, should be 8. Fix<y>? yes

now:
Entry 'opr002MZ.gif' in /root/.opera/cache4 (131569) has deleted/unused inode 130341. Clear<y>? yes

and:
Free blocks count wrong for group #52 (2153, counted=2160).
Fix<y>? yes

Apart from filesystem corruption, another thing that can cause stuff like this is when running processes unlink open files. This will cause disagreements between du and df, for example. The "solution" is to shut down the process that is doing that (like opera and its cache, for example). I hope your filesystem is OK.
