How to fix this problem?
If I use
df -i
I receive:
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
udev 218483 402 218081 1% /dev
tmpfs 220126 340 219786 1% /run
/dev/disk/by-label/DOROOT 2621440 2621440 0 100% /
none 220126 1 220125 1% /sys/fs/cgroup
none 220126 1 220125 1% /run/lock
none 220126 1 220125 1% /run/shm
none 220126 1 220125 1% /run/user
If I use
df -h
Seems to be good
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 1005M 4.0K 1005M 1% /dev
tmpfs 202M 340K 202M 1% /run
/dev/disk/by-label/DOROOT 40G 20G 18G 53% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 1008M 0 1008M 0% /run/shm
none 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user

df -i checks for inode usage. Inodes only represent sort of structures or objects which are written on your device, basically a metadata or pointers. Being full on Inodes usually means that you have too many files (in terms of amount, not size) written on your disk.
Perhaps you’re using some application which writes too many small log files or stores the sessions data for each visitor and doesn’t clean-up.
