Negative inode-nr ?

["Jakob Østergaard" <jakob@unthought.net>]

Hello all,

I was investigating a problem we believed we had with our monitoring
software (from sysorb.com), where it failed to report the number of
free and allocated inodes.

However, looking into the problem I found that it's the kernel that's
returning bogus values.

What do you think of this ?
[root]# cat /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr 
157097	-180

The number of free inodes is negative !  I find it hard to believe that
that's correct.

Kernel:  2.4.4 on i686

All filesystems are ext2fs.

If you need more information, let me know.
