The filesystem might be in inconsistent state or out of inodes. --

The server (RHEL ES4) just suddenly couldn't create/edit files whose names are made up of numbers. The kernel's really old (2.6.9-22.0.1.EL #1 Tue Oct 18 18:29:40 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux) but never had any problems. No new apps or modifications were done, too. The sysads never upgraded it since they didn't want to affect the apps running on it because they could't afford the downtime. But now the issue has affected their emails (qmail/Maildir). We've tried vi, touch, redirects, copy, etc to try and write files to any partitions but nothing worked. Even mounting an external fs (NFS) didn't work. We couldn't write to the mounted drive as well. We're out of ideas as to what caused this. Hopefully some of you might have some new ones.For your reference, I found a similar case from 2007 but no clear solution was given. http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/RedHat/2007-12/msg00079.html Thanks.
