[Errno 28] No space left on device

[Yves Bellefeuille]

I'm getting the following error:

Exception '[Errno 28] No space left on device' raised of class '<type 
'exceptions.IOError'>':

In fact, there's plenty of space and plenty of free inodes.

I've run fsck and smartctl on the disk and found no problems.

Here are the details. I seem to be getting two similar error reports, 
which might be a clue.
