Cannot open /var/run/atd.pid : there isn't avaiable space on device,
/etc/rc.d/S15qmail: /var/run/svscan.pid There isnt avaiable space on deive
but I gave the DF command and receive this result:

Hi pal

Are you sure that /var and /etc are mounted from hda1? cu, Sascha

/var and /etc are on /dev/hda1 look:

root@fwall /]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 3.7G 2.3G 1.2G 65% /
[root@fwall /]# ls -l

I think that my problem is in Inode look:

[xxxxxxxxxxxx@fwall users]$ df -i
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 494016 494016 0 100% /


how can I get free space in inode?

how can I get space in my inode table? I am using 100% now,
my system is stopped.

Thanks

There is no way to increase the number of inodes on an already formatted partition. If you look at the man page for mkfs.ext2 under the -i switch, it says this below (look at the last line)...


"-i bytes-per-inode
Specify the bytes/inode ratio. mke2fs creates an inode for every bytes-per-inode bytes of space on the disk. The larger the bytes-per-inode ratio, the fewer inodes will be created. This value generally shouldn't be smaller than the blocksize of the filesystem, since then too many inodes will be made. Be warned that is not possible to expand the number of inodes on a filesystem after it is created, so be careful deciding the correct value for this parameter."
