Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure if this guess is correct, so please correct me if I'm wrong :).<br><br>The
amount of available inodes is not limited only by the MDT size. You
datas is physically on OSTs on ldiskfs, so an ext3/4 mod. ldiskfs has
inodes limits as a normal ext4. It is true that you can't create more
inodes then the MDT limit, but at the same time OSTs can full their
inodes too even if the MDT is far from full. In other words you have two
limiting factors for inodes: the total number of inode supported by
your MDT(s), and the sum of the OSTs.<br>
<br>The solution is to add more OSTs or to format them with more inodes.
I have no idea if you can change it without formatting them. If I
recall correctly in ext4 is not possible.<br><br>Regards<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 2:17 PM, Alfonso Pardo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alfonso.pardo@ciemat.es" target="_blank">alfonso.pardo@ciemat.es</a>></span> wrote:<br>
