Anyone know what would cause an EXT4 filesystem to just suddenly insist it has zero bytes free no matter what? I deleted files and everything and it still said 0 bytes free. I ran multiple filesystem checks (it was marked as dirty, and said mounted with errors, but just in case I forced extra checks) and in the end it did a repair or something and then from there on just insisted there was nothing wrong anymore. I even used gparted to shrink, move, and then resize it back (poor memory card!)

In the end I had to use tune2fs to adjust the reserve down to 1% (I probably don't need any, this is on a secondary memory card for a retro handheld.)

Like did the reserve just... somehow get changed somehow to 100% or something stupid? How would that even be possible?
