Hmmm. The only cache I have ever run on Linux is on a Debian system and
had similar symptoms as the UFS problem on Solaris - the filesystem
wasn't full (AFAIR), but the cache ran out of space. This was nearly
two years ago so perhaps my memory of the problem is faulty.
So what causes problems on ext2 as I observed?

Done that. I have my UFS cache directories mostly under control. I was
inexpertly illustrating.
