[jira] [Created] (MYNEWT-338) NFFS - Can't delete from a completely full file system

Christopher Collins created MYNEWT-338:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: NFFS - Can't delete from a completely full file system
                 Key: MYNEWT-338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-338
             Project: Mynewt
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: NFFS
            Reporter: Christopher Collins
            Assignee: Christopher Collins


Deleting a file or directory requires writing an inode to the disk.  If the disk is completely full, there is not room for the deletion record, and the delete attempt will fail with an FS_EFULL error.

It should be sufficient to always ensure that at least one area has room for a deletion record.  All deletion records are the same size.  Once a deletion record is written, the previous inode entry and all children inodes or constituent data blocks can be removed during garbage collection.
