Recently the system has been running at high load (average 8, and cpu 100%), and even  more recently we've started  seeing the following types of error when we do cvs commits on the system. The system has between 150 to 200 users on it during the day.

Are you really sure your file system is not full ?

1/ sync
2/ df -h
3/ df -i
