Some of the directories contain many millions of files and some directories consist entirely of symlinks, if any of that's relevant. The filesystem is on a newish machine running openSUSE 11.2 (Linux scop4 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and the data is being mirrored from an older machine that uses a reiser filesystem and which stores the data without problem. Some folks on the suse mailing list said it was probably an inode problem and suggested I run df -i: # df -i /nfs/scop4/data Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg--storage-lv--data 429496704 -18446744073280007488 18446744073709504192 - /nfs/scop4/data I don't understand that output, especially the negative number! I then read about the inode64 mount option in the XFS FAQ and I believe I've now enabled that and remounted the filesystem. mtab shows /dev/mapper/vg--storage-lv--data /nfs/scop4/data xfs rw,noatime,inode64 0 0 But I'm still seeing the same errors as before. Is there something else I need to do to enable inode64, or am I looking in the wrong direction?
