You have to remove few 1000s of files to see the difference

See the recently created files
Code:
find / -xdev -mtime -30

There are two limits for a filesystem that we're normally interested in. The usual one is overall space used/free. The other is i-nodes. Fro each file, an i-node is used. There is a set number allocated when a filesystem is created. It varies by OS and version, but I seem to recall that on some versions this can be varied. It's been many years since, so I'm not sure. I think it was Solaris and you could adjust the filesystem overhead settings. You would need to increase the overhead as you have insufficient i-nodes and plenty of general space available.

I regret that I can't remember how to do this, but it might jog someone's memory.

In the meantime, can you tell us the OS and version you are having this problem on? It will be needed as each flavour is slightly different at the level you are working at. It looks like you have a Linux variant, but again there may be differences.



Regards,
Robin
