[Bug 1320157] [NEW] user space gnome-terminal overflows / file system
Public bug reported: I have two partitions on my system: $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 23G 12G 11G 52% / /dev/sda6 98G 67G 27G 72% /home When I run a user application (on /home) which produces lots of debugging output to the terminal, it quickly (less than a day) overflows the root file system /. I think I figured the reason for that: I selected the "unlimited" option for scrolling back in the gnome terminal. The question is this: why does it overflow the / rather than the /home partition? May be "unlimited" should be understood as "unlimited within reasonable limits"? I earlier reported it as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1319667 (Of course I am not going to use this in a production application.
