Hi list,
the number of free inodes seems to be reported wrongly on the client side. If I create files, the number of free inodes does not change. If I delete the files, the number of free inodes increases. So, from a client perspective, if I repeat to create and remove files, I can have more and more free inodes. I tried to find a bug for this in Whamcloud's database but could not find one. 'df -i' for the mdt on the MDS looks OK.
I think behaviour is depicted here:

Right now I don't think this is a big problem. Can this turn into a real problem? Like when the number of free inodes as seen by the client exceeds 2^64 or whatever is the limit there?
