Max number of files
I currently own an HP Media Vault mv2100 with two 500GB drives mirrored. I have run out of inodes. (Via ssh, executing df -i shows IUse% at 100%.) So while there is space to spare, no new files can...
Looking up EXT3 in Wikipedia, I came across this:
"The maximum number of inodes (and hence the maximum number of files and directories) is set when the file system is created. If V is the volume size in bytes, then the default number of inodes is given by V/213 (or the number of blocks, whichever is less), and the minimum by V/223. The default was deemed sufficient for most applications. The max number of subdirectories in one directory is fixed to 32000."
While I have not done the calculation, but the number seems very large. You must either have a very large number of small files, or HP has a different limit.
