Run out of inodes?

[Samuel Granjeaud]

Taking into account the two answers, here is some more information.

The system is a openfiler installation, v2.3, up-to-date.

The problematic system is a backup but the production system uses the 
same openfiler NAS system. The difference is that there are currently 
more files on the backup system than the production system; so I guess 
the problem will appear sooner on the prod sys.

The system is a ESXi virtual machine. RAID is hardware, managed at the 
BIOS level. Disks are DELL SATA.

I have no idea concerning the inode64 option. Just tell me how to find 
it out. I don't think this option was changed: as previously told, 
removing a few files allows files to be created without error.

I could add some more information if needed.

Thanks for your help,
Samuel
