Everything went well, until I wanted to format a hard drive. By then mkfs.ext2, mkfs.ext3, mkfs.reiserfs, and even mkfs.vfat and mkfs.msdos gave me the error message: File size limit exceeded As this error has never occured prior to my recent library update I presume that there must be a bug in the latter. Any idea how to fix or avoid it?
Run lsof (should reside in /usr/sbin/lsof) to get a list of the open files. I ran into this problem because wmheader (which runs once every 30 minutes) failed to clean up after itself. If you find you have similiar problem, you'll need to kill the running processes then remove the cron entry (look in /etc/cron.d, /etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.weekly).
