Andy, Did you check your inode usage?
-K --- Karl Katzke Systems Analyst II TAMU - DRGS >>> "Andrew (Anything)" <anyth...@starstrike.net> 5/11/2009 11:13 PM >>> Hi All. Today I was copying a heap of files to an ocfs2 partition today for a website when I started experiencing strange problems (where file creations silently just wouldn*t happen), then eventually *no space left on device* errors. With >100gb free I was quite confused. One of the first google results for the issue (http://www.mail-archive.com/ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com/msg03082.html) suggested that Nuno was able to get by the problem by deleting 275,000 files. As this poor old disk that has many files (perhaps as many as 5 million) I thought perhaps ive hit some sort of limit. I too am now on a deleting spree, removing nearly 500,000 I can go without. Shortly after I began the delete I*ve re-attempted copying the files, and now they succeeded. I*ve been looking around for any sort of limit on number of files (or number of inodes?) that ocfs2 can support, and have only found that *OCFS2 1.4 has no intrinsic limit on the total number of files and directories in the file system*.* In the ocfs2 1.4 users guide. If there is no such limit can anyone suggest what might have happened to my file system today? I*d like to avoid it in the future. Andy..
