no more inodes???
« on: March 27, 2002, 07:09:57 AM »
I was getting " No space left on device " errors which was weird I thought.
I had to delete a bunch of files to get a few inodes free to do anything.

[root@screamer /root]# df -i
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hda6              94432   92524    1908   98% /
/dev/hda1               4016      26    3990    1% /boot
[root@screamer /root]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6              28G   12G   15G  44% /
/dev/hda1              15M  2.6M   11M  18% /boot
[root@screamer /root]#

I understand that to increase the number of inodes on the disk you have to reformat it. OUCH! Why was there so few inodes allocated in the first place? What did I do wrong? Is there any way to fix this without reformatting the drive?
