Some filesystems can be unable to delete a file if full. Something to be a bit worried about.

Instead of deleting the ballast file you can just truncate it. That works on ZFS when you fill the pool and delete starts failing.

		under what circumstances does deleting files fail on a full pool? i have one that fills up semiregularly and i've never had issues that required me to truncate files

Please name and shame those filesystems so that we will all be forewarned.

		Any Copy-on-Write filesystem can run into this. There's always some way around it, but it can be problematic if you only have one device, can't remember the steps to fix a full filesystem, and can't look up the steps because you can't launch a browser without it trying to make some files!
