Sounds like you have an extremely large number of temporary files being created somewhere. The only way to increase the total number of inodes is to rebuild the filesystem. At the same time, you might also want to consider the block size allocated as well - if you're creating multitudes of tiny temp files, a large block size would be inappropriate. I seem to remember that one of the Reiser filesystems might be more flexible in this regard, but I can't remember if that was in the future roadmap, or current implementations. In any case, it might not be appropriate to use a journalling filesystem for temporary storage. -jim
