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.
