Few years ago a Linux system, which I used, ran out of inodes once in a
while. The reason was that a directory in /var (I do not remember its
name) got filled by thousands of zero-length files, due to a botched
error recovery attempt by some daemon. The cure was to delete all those
files.
I would suggest that you look for obsolete archive files in /var/log and
for other obsolete stuff in other /var subdirectories. Once those files
re deleted, you should be able to free several inodes.
