UDF Partition reported full when it is not
- by Capt.Nemo
I was using these instructions to setup an external hard disk with udf. I have been able to setup a multi-partition system using those instructions, but I seem to have hit a wall, where the partition is reported as full while writing to the disk. Every other tool available to me reports it as free.
Relevant lshw output
Here's a screenshot showing the disk:
Both the output of df and the file manager (caja) report the disk as free.

I seem to have hit a wall near the 35GB mark. Despite being shown as 35gb/860gb used everywhere, the following happens on a write attempt:
[2017][/media/Dory]$ echo D>>echo
bash: echo: write error: No space left on device
Writing byte by byte, the maximum I can take it to is 34719248K.
The most weird part is that on mounting it Windows, Windows can write to the disk easily, and the writes are being read fine back in Ubuntu. However, the used-bytes remains at 34719248K in Ubuntu (It goes higher on Windows, however).
