Re: Run out of inodes
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. --- Omer On Wed, 2007-12-26 at 09:12 +0100, Biran, Yahav (Yahav) wrote: df -I show: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mpower]# df -i FilesystemInodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 262144 10442 2517024% / /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 26104 54 260501% /boot none 1013170 1 10131691% /dev/shm /dev/cciss/c0d0p23989888 616728 3373160 16% /export/home /dev/cciss/c0d0p7 131616 20 1315961% /tmp /dev/cciss/c0d0p33842720 127472 37152484% /usr /dev/cciss/c0d0p8 131616 131616 0 100% /var Therefore I can't run any rpm nor up2date.

How one can clean up some inodes?
The usual case is a directory which has a lot of files (usually small,
otherwise the FS will hit in size limits). An example might be empty log
files.
The best way to find problematic directory is to look for a large
directory. Don't mix between the directory size itself, and the size of
it's contents.
a small example to clarify:
$ ls -ld /tmp/inode-test/
drwxr-xr-x 2 kaplan kaplan 1024 2007-12-28 02:20 /tmp/inode-test/
$ for i in {1..5000}; do
touch /tmp/inode-test/$i
done
$ ls -ld /tmp/inode-test/
drwxr-xr-x 2 kaplan kaplan 60416 2007-12-28 02:29 /tmp/inode-test/
Notice the directory size, while each of the files in it is 0 in size.
From here, I'm sure you'll manage to find the large directory by yourself.
Good luck.
