[NTLUG:Discuss] No Space Left on Device - but not really

Ext2/Ext3 filesystems pre-allocate inodes.
So you may be out of inodes.
What does:
  # df -i
Give you?

Subj:  [NTLUG:Discuss] No Space Left on Device - but not really

I have a Redhat ES3 server that just started acting like it was out of 
space on the /home partition.  According to 'df', home is only about 86% 
full with about 9gb available.  I deleted some files and it seems back 
to normal.

Is there anything in a standard Redhat ES3 install that would prevent a 
user from writing additional files when a partition gets "close" to 
full?  Or is there any reason that 'df' might not produce accurate info?

Thanks,
Stuart Johnston
