I have a Xen VPS with Debian Linux installed. Once I found that all inodes are used. I checked this:

~# df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on rootfs 3932160 3932160 0 100% / udev 59227 262 58965 1% /dev tmpfs 63251 215 63036 1% /run /dev/xvda 3932160 3932160 0 100% / tmpfs 63251 2 63249 1% /run/lock tmpfs 63251 2 63249 1% /run/shm

Then I tryed to find where all inodes were used. Usually them were used by PHP session files (bacause of cron task or PHP internal cleaner were broken). But I can't find what directory contains very large amount of files. I tryed many methods, there is one:

/# for i in /*; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done /aquota.group 1 /aquota.user 1 /bin 124 /boot 9 /dev 264 /etc 1746 /home 1 /initrd.img 1 /lib 4002 /lib64 2 /lost+found 1 /media 1 /mnt 1 /opt 1 /proc 26590 /root 17 /run 214 /sbin 127 /selinux 1 /srv 3 /sys 3609 /tmp 1 /usr 37020 /var 8636 /vmlinuz 1

What can I do next?

  • Try checking /proc/*/fd/ for the number of open file descriptors. An open fd may consume an inode without being visible in the file system hierarchy. Commented Apr 20, 2016 at 18:29
  • @mpez0 it seems to be good: pastebin.com/LHBs071q. And server with this problem (100% used inodes) was rebooted many times. Commented Apr 20, 2016 at 19:36
