What applications do you actually call statfs() and check the amount of space
that you have?  I'm not aware of any.

Does the problem go away if you add the mount option "nodelalloc"?   If it
does, that's Jan's patch is probably the right workaround.  It looks like
Bugzilla stripped it off (it's in the e-mail version of his reply).  I'll add
it to this bug, and you can try it out as well.
