[gentoo-user] OT: disk full but lot of space

[gentoo@depardo.ch]

Hello,

This is OT, but I'm kind of worried and google hasn't been my friend...

* I'm doing backups of my server everynight and had the following errors in 
the mail from the cron output this morning. repeated a dozen of times.

bzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bzip2: No space left on device
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
/local/sbin/mk-rs-backups.sh: line 26: 22516 Broken pipe             $TAR cjf 
$DSTDIR/site-$site.tar.gz $name

bzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bzip2: No space left on device
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

* checking my logs I found the following error repeating ~6000 times.

Aug  8 03:17:00 www kernel: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)): ext3_new_block: 
block(14366126) >= blocks count(14366126) - block_group = 438, es == c2510400

Aug  8 08:46:52 www kernel: EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)): ext3_new_block: 
block(14372149) >= blocks count(14366126) - block_group = 438, es == c2510400

"df" is telling that my disk is only half full: ~28Gb free.
"df -i" is reporting only ~2% inodes used.

"tune2ds -l" follows

So... is my disk broken? my fs corrupted? While is ext3 trying to allocate a 
block with a higher count than the max?

Any help welcomed, thanks in advance.
