 I would like to point to this email on the -stable list:

 From irc:
 
 <tjr> well, i have a vague idea
 <tjr> perhaps the application has mmap()'d in a sparse file
 <tjr> dirtied so many pages that there isn't space on disk for them
 <tjr> then the syncer has gone to flush the dirty pages out to disk..
 <tjr> you could confirm whether or not that's the case fairly easily
 <tjr> create a sparse file that would be too big to fit on disk if it was non-sparse, mmap it in, dirty all the pages
