So following up on that, I have a question: I have a largish XFS filesystem which is currently not mounted inode64. I would like to know how close I am to filling up the inodes in the first 1TB, so that I know how urgent it is for me to migrate to inode64. Does anybody know a way to query this information out of the filesystem?
only way i can think of to get close would be rather lengthy.
as root user;
ls -iR /|less
and watch for max number, or via a php command that will list inodes into increasing numerical order.
if you fear you are getting close to max, zip up a bunch of files that you do not need, ie, emails, text files, photographs, etc. then delete what you zipped to release the inodes.
if you have another partition with a greater number of free inodes, mv directory(s) to it, then link directory(s) back where you want.
