Compatibility is a good point. Thanks. [...] > So please consider ENOSPC is "something has no more space". I'm OK with that. Here's the big but. BUT, Linux newbies will inevitably be confused and frustrated when applications erroneously report that file systems are out of space (ENOSPC). [...] > other method notifying us is needed. At the moment, the best idea I can think of would be to keep returning the errnos in errno.h, but also place more specific errnos somewhere, possibly in the application's stack, and provide a libc call to return the specific errnos. It seems to me this would 1.) be compatible with existing applications and 2.) allow maintainers of newbie friendly applications to retrieve more specific diagnostic information. Thanks, Kingsley
