Hello,
today I experienced a problem with this solution which I didn't expected:
# touch test
touch: cannot touch `test': No space left on device
It seems that this directories and files have eaten all available nodes
in the filesystem although a lot of GB space was left on the device. But
on the other hand I cannot see that from a "tune2fs -l":

When I removed one greylist directory recursively everything worked
again. But for how long?
