Bug#764472: Hit the same issue

[Andreas Kloeckner]

Hi there,

I just hit the same issue. What makes this a really unhappy problem is
that, in addition to disk space and the possible issues at reboot,
another resource that seems to be consumed by this is system
memory. Once I hit this issue, my computer start swapping and the
desktop becomes mostly unusable. I assume ext4 tries to keep much of the
directory information for /tmp in memory... Kudos to it for not
crashing, but at the same time it's a puzzling problem to track down,
since the memory is gone, but not attributable to any running process.

Andreas
