Hi gentoo-users, |

A few days ago I updated linux kernel to 4.5.1. Yesterday I got a disk |
| 4 |
space overflow in my /home partition. Cleaned it up and rebooted, just |
| 5 |
to run into the same issue today morning. Investigations revealed that |
| 6 |
the `.xsessions-errors` had grown to tremendous 100G full of messages like: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
AL lib: (EE) ALCplaybackAlsa_mixerProc: start failed: File descriptor |
| 9 |
in a bad state |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
It is - *50G per DAY!* |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Thinking about a possible cause and bearing in mind I've not updated |
| 14 |
ALSA recently rather than the kernel, I went to the kernel's changelog |
| 15 |
and found that version 4.5.2 fixes several ALSA-related bugs. I upgraded |
| 16 |
immediately and got rid of the error. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So I advise everyone not to install the 4.5.1 kernel and suggest |
| 19 |
removing it from portage ASAP. If anyone knows how I could submit such a |
| 20 |
request, I'm all ears. |

Thanks for your attention! |
