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. -- ................................................................ : jakob@unthought.net : And I see the elder races, : :.........................: putrid forms of man : : Jakob Østergaard : See him rise and claim the earth, : : OZ9ABN : his downfall is at hand. : :.........................:............{Konkhra}...............:
