Hi Samuel, hi Jose Luis, Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I have a problem that might, or might not, be related to the topic…

Basically, it’s a Hurd VM. [1]: https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/childhurds-and-substitutes/ It was working fine until I ran short of disk space and increased it to 20Gb. Now, it randomly crashes with error messages like: ``` ext2fs: BUG: unexpected fault on disk image (10, 0x8ffc000) in [0xB8222000,0x18222000) eip 0x8052224 err 0xa ``` or: ``` ext2fs: disk-pager.c:109: fault_handler: Assertion ’err’ failed. ``` Now that I know I’m not hitting the disk size limit —thanks for pointing to the FAQ!—, I’m wondering what the problem might be? Any idea?! -- Tanguy
