Not really, ls -i shows the inode for each file, but it doesn't give you the number of inodes used.
If you use dlna, then go into /var/cache and delete the contents of the dlna cache folder.
Then perhaps just try booting again.

Bingo!
It's working now!
The worst files seemed to be in my squeezebox lib folder
artwork - 200Mb, and
spotify cache - 150Mb
I deleted both of these and it seems to be booting-up fine now.
I've ssh'd back in and the 4G partition is now at 71% which is higher than i'd like so i'll do a bit more digging over the next few days
But i'm just relieved to have got it back up
Thanks v much StephenB
