Version: 4.4 (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux After a power failure or system crash I regularly get the message "/home/dbradford is full or unwritable when trying to log in to kde. I have checked the disk / partition there is 6.5 GB of free space, I do not use disk quotas. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: power failure or system crash reproduces it almost every time. I have had to delete my .kde directory to get it be able to log in again, but this doesn't always work. Actual Results: I can log back in, but the user directory still is unwriteable in some instances. IF i can provide any additional information, logs etc, please let me know. what is needed.
my suspicion is that the file system driver is doing something weird. log into a console session before you try to start the graphical session and do a few experiments there - creating new files, try renaming .Xauthority, .xsession-errors (also, check the home directory's and the files' access rigths and possibly acls if you use any). also, check whether you don't have some security system like selinux enabled and having it go haywire. check the various syslog files.

I did several tests even up to adding a new user and root could not create a new user dir. very odd to say the least. Thanks for your help and suggestions Dickie
