RE: free space problem

["Huszár Viktor Dénes" <hvd@dwo.hu>]

Okay guys, we figured out what is the real problem with the xfs, I just need
your help now.

Currently our server has an 880448 number as icount, which we figured out
like this:

xfs_db -r -c sb -c p /dev/a/a | egrep icount\|ifree
icount = 880448
ifree = 0

although df -i sates this:

df -i
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/md0                5.3M    301K    5.0M    6% /
tmpfs                   2.0M       5    2.0M    1% /lib/init/rw
udev                    2.0M     475    2.0M    1% /dev
tmpfs                   2.0M       1    2.0M    1% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/a-a          60M    860K     59M    2% /var/www/users

If we delete a file ifree is going to be 1. if we delete 200 files, ifree
becomes 200 so there is an obvious relationship here. If ifree is 0, we can
not upload anymore.

So the question is: how can we increase the icount without formatting the
partition?

Please help!! Thank you in advance,

Viktor

Then maybe you simply ran out of inodes. It's common if you have lots
of small files. There is a way to increase the number of inodes but I
don't remember it right now.
