When I unpack a tar-archive containing many files (about halv a million)
this errors occures in the dmesg output:
EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,77)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28

and the program complins about: No space left on device, but df -h shows
that there is over 1G free on the hd.

After this error occurs the hd contains errors and need to be checked.

The filesystem on the hd is ext3.

I have tested this with to kernel-verions, on both 2.4.18 and
2.4.19-pre8-ac3 the error occurs.


Else my system is :
glibc: 2.2.5
binutils: 2.12.90.0.1
gcc: 2.95.4

ENOSPC - you're out of inodes

try df -i (for inodes)

That's a bug in ext3 - it has (apparantly) been fixed in the CVS version.

Can you please paste the output from 'df -h' and 'df -i' ?

BTW, it might be a good idea to post the output of:

tune2fs -l <device>

(from your message above, <device> should be /dev/hdb13 ?)

I've seen one instance where mke2fs got the inode allocation wrong.

The df -i shows that there are now unused inodes.

SO I need to reformat my hd to have more inodes?

Or you can make use of the loopback device if reformating the partition is
not an option.

You'll lose a bit of perf (don't know how much), but you can do this without
interrupting anything that depends on this filesystem.
