Comment 11 for bug 22842

I can also confirm this bug and it affects many many programs. I recently upgraded to Hardy (Ubuntu 8.04) after a bit of messing about I was fairly happy with the result. Unfortunately my external hard drive failed to mount and I didn't notice but my backup system was configured to do regular backups to this drive so instead it backed up to a folder in /media. To cut a long story short my partition soon filled up but with absolutely no disk full warnings. Then the problems started, FF3 beta failed to load it's bookmark toolbar, which I thought was a problem with FF3 so I messed about with that uninstalling/reinstalling I tried FF2, it wouldn't run, I tried Amaya, it wouldn't run, Evolution failed to display messages in open emails, OOo took forever to load a doc then failed to save.

Initially I put all this down to the recent upgrade to 8.04 and FF3 beta but it was all due to the disk partition being full and at no time were there any warnings, which I think is quite a fundamental bug.
