The server is a VPS (Virtual Private Server) one. Indeed the inodes were full.
sudo df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/simfs 500000 500000 500000 100% / ..etc.. So filesystem needs some files cleanup... I identified which directory was full of files with following command executed from root location /: /: sudo find . -xdev -type f | cut -d "/" -f 2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n After few iterations I found the directory : /usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/spool which contains more than 300.000 files. Need to work on this later, but to resolve the current issue I stopped nagios and delete its spool directory. Then everything is up & running OK. sudo df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/simfs 500000 167715 332285 34% / ..etc.. Thanks for your attention.
