 It got worse, now the system crash on single file save :-(
 
 Maybe this is not the reason but the address/location number is
 printed as negative value...
 
 Is there any way to see why this happens? Maybe some backtrace from kernel dump?
 
 I noticed some time ago that the filesystem was too big to handle so
 many files, some sort of inodes exhaustion, so I have removed lots of
 unnecessary files and it was fine for some time. Should I increase
 bytes-per-inode and/or number of inodes?
 
 Any hints are welcome :-)
