Ok. I've upgraded to 2.4.18 with XFS 1.1. Same results...

df -i reports:

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5
                      952000  117248  834752   12% /mnt

df -h:

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5
                      948M  745M  204M  79% /mnt

Yet simply touching a new file returns:

touch: file: No space left on device

I'm stumped on this one. Is there a better way to check free space and inode 
use?
