[Wlug] Weird fs problem...

[John Stoffel]

Tim> I've got a really weird filesystem problem...

Tim> I've got a 250GB external USB disk device.  It's formatted at ext3.

Tim> a 'df -h' yeilds the following:
Tim> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
Tim> /dev/sda1             233G  115G  107G  52% /mnt/ext-usb

Tim> The weird problem that I'm seeing is that I can't write data to
Tim> it anymore.

Tim> i.e.
Tim> [root at fandango ext-usb]# pwd
Tim> /mnt/ext-usb
Tim> [root at fandango ext-usb]# touch test
Tim> touch: cannot touch `test': No space left on device
Tim> [root at fandango ext-usb]#

What does 'df -i' yield?  It sounds like you're out of inodes on
there.  Do you have tons and tons of small files on there?
