Actually, you are out of inode room. We actually allocate inodes in
blocks of 64 - which is 4 fs blocks in the default setup. We deal
with them in memory in chunks of 2 fs blocks, but on disk we ask for
64 at a time.

So, working out how not to fragment so much in the first place would
be the best solution here.
