I thought of that....

ls -ld /files/amp
drwxrwxr-x 2 775 oacapp 695459840 Jan 5 13:49 /files/foobar


df -i .
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 26214400 7541112 18673288 29% /files


I think the problem is too many files in this subdirectory. Not sure how it happened but there are about +6 million files. I am using the output from the strace /bin/ls -l to manage the files. Slow but it is working.
