Ubuntu :: 10.04 Running Out Of Inodes?
Nov 17, 2010
Several people have said that those of us who are having problems with Ubuntu (10.04) should ask some specific questions. Here is on below which I cannot get an answer to and never happens in Windows. Can any Ubuntu expert answer it for me? Would really restore my faith in Ubuntu (and go onto the other problems I have with it)I think I am running out of inodes on my eeepc701. It has happened before when I was using Xandros but now I am using Ubuntu 10.04.I get the following output:
Code:
df -i
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on

I recently used up all my free inodes on my server. I had a bunch of mail messages that were sitting there using up a bunch, so I cleared the postfix queue. That gave me some room. What I'd like to do, is get a listing of the directories using the most inodes (or containing the most number of files), so that I can find the other culprits.Basically I want the output of "df -i" but to be able to do it recursively on a specific directory.

To fix the insufficient inodes issue on a FS shouldn't be involved File System extend or House Keeping of existing File system.

My server started acting flaky this weekend and my Webmin interface was throwing strange errors. I finally tracked it down to the fact that I was out of inodes on my primary partition. I'm fairly certain that the /tmp folder has an outrageous number of files in it.I can't do an ls on the directory because the console just sits there forever after I issue the command. I also tried to do an rm -rf on the /tmp directory and it did the same thing.

Each time I start my Ubuntu 10.10, I notice this messages in dmesg:
[Code]...
Each time the inode number is different. I made SMART tests on the disk, and all went fine. Do I have to worry? Could it be something related to a wrong shutdown? Update: I have just ran an fsck at boot, but when I logged in, the same orphan_cleanup was in dmesg.

I'd like to make the ls -laR /media/myfs on Linux as fast as possible. I'll have 1 million files on the filesystem, 2TB of total file size, and some directories containing as much as 10000 files. Which filesystem should I use and how should I configure it?As far as I understand, the reason why ls -laR is slow because it has to stat(2) each inode (i.e. 1 million stat(2)s), and since inodes are distributed randomly on the disk, each stat(2) needs one disk seek.Here are some solutions I had in mind, none of which I am satisfied with:Create the filesystem on an SSD, because the seek operations on SSDs are fast. This wouldn't work, because a 2TB SSD doesn't exist, or it's prohibitively expensive.
Create a filesystem which spans on two block devices: an SSD and a disk; the disk contains file data, and the SSD contains all the metadata (including directory entries, inodes and POSIX extended attributes). Is there a filesystem which supports this? Would it survive a system crash (power outage)?Use find /media/myfs on ext2, ext3 or ext4, instead of ls -laR /media/myfs, because the former can the advantage of the d_type field (see in the getdents(2) man page), so it doesn't have to stat. Unfortunately, this doesn't meet my requirements, because I need all file sizes as well, which find /media/myfs doesn't print.Use a filesystem, such as VFAT, which stores inodes in the directory entries. I'd love this one, but VFAT is not reliable and flexible enough for me, and I don't know of any other filesystem which does that. Do you? Of course, storing inodes in the directory entries wouldn't work for files with a link count more than 1, but that's not a problem since I have only a few dozen such files in my use case.
Adjust some settings in /proc or sysctl so that inodes are locked to system memory forever. This would not speed up the first ls -laR /media/myfs, but it would make all subsequent invocations amazingly fast. How can I do this? I don't like this idea, because it doesn't speed up the first invocation, which currently takes 30 minutes. Also I'd like to lock the POSIX extended attributes in memory as well. What do I have to do for that?Use a filesystem which has an online defragmentation tool, which can be instructed to relocate inodes to the the beginning of the block device. Once the relocation is done, I can run dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=1M count=256 to get the beginning of the block device fetched to the kernel in-memory cache without seeking, and then the stat(2) operations would be fast, because they read from the cache. Is there a way to lock those inodes and/or blocks into memory once they have been read? Which filesystem has such a defragmentation tool?

Is there a command to count inodes with in a directory?
I know I can see total inode usage with:
df -i
And I know I can find total number of files with:
find ./ |wc -l
But how can I find inodes? As files over 8kb (if using the default partitioning of 1 node over 2 4kb blocks) would take up more than 1 inode.

How can the number of inodes be increased on an existing EXT3 or EXT4 partition without re-creating the partition?

i manage to delete some files from the system. now i need to recover them.. i know the inode # (through ext3undel) and also the size.Quote:Unfortunately, we cannot automatically obtain the name of a deleted filefrom Unix file systems - since the connection between the iNode (whichholds the MetaData, including the file namee real data is droppedon deletion. However, we can obtain a list of names from the deleted files.How can i use this information to recover the files?Also can i search the text from a partition? (file don't exists). As i need figures

The Linux File system uses the file path notation to abstract how data is accessed. Path really must be an environmental variable for the applcication that converts the path name to an inode so what is this application/Daemons name?

I have searched google for a couple of days, and I keep hearing about an INode limit on filesystems, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Now whenever I try to download something, watch a ..... video, or listen to Pandora radio, it just stops playing after 2 seconds. Downloading says "No space left on device".I also get the error as root.I do have 5% and more free of HDD space. After reading the similar posts I checked all of this, so if I am overlooking something on the forum, I apologize for an extra post about.

Hi. I have Ubuntu 10.04, nm-applet is running in the background, my battery icon and sound icon are showing but my network icon has been missing for the past 2 days. It was working fine before but now it's not. How can I fix this issue if I don't have an ethernet cord? Is there a way to roll back the recent updates or do I need to reinstall my network manager?
I've tried restarting the system and I've tried killing nm-applet and reloading it using Alt F2. I get some Debug error.
When I try to run nm-applet --sm-disable
It says an instance is already running and then gives me a warning.
I tried removing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" from /etc/network/interfaces and then tried restarting by "sudo /etc/initi.d/networking restart"
It says:
What can I do to connect to the internet? I have a flash stick if its possible to download a .deb package on this mac and transfer it over to my other laptop to fix the problem. If its possible.

I can't figure out why but my processor is running at 100% on all four cores, and the fan is running at max speed. All I did was double click an a.out file created by g++, and it is running at full speed now.

After "yum install emacs" & "yum install emacs-ess", I was able to install emacs on my X86_64 running Fedora 10.
If I run one session of emacs everything works fine.
Once I start a second session and try to resize or move the emacs window, the system stops responding.

I presume there is something in the JWM window manager - or Puppy Linux Lupu 5.01 itself that is conflicting with the normal loading of GMPLAYER....
I would like to know how to troubleshoot, and fix this problem if possible (even a workaround would be great).

Sometimes I connect to my Debian box from another computer (using SSH on Cygwin or Linux), and once ina while I want to run some console apps. And sometimes some of these apps might complain about "another intance, Error: an instance of newsbeuter is already running (PID: 2496)". Is there a work around for this issue at all(without killing the original instance") ? The reason I do not want to kill the app because there might be 2 users connected to the same machine that might be using the same app.

Is suid disabled from running all home made bash scripts or just from running them as root or:
Who would know for sure.
I googled several combinations of Mandriva Linux how-to suid disabled setUID etc... so far all I found was "many distributions are disabling suid for security reasons" nothing specific.

We are running IPmonitor to monitor the disk usage on our Linux servers. It does not seem to coincide with what is reported when running df -h. For example on a Red Hat 5.3 server - our IPmonitor shows that 85% is used on the /usr partition, however when I do a df -h on the server it shows that 91% is used. Why there would be a discrepancy? IPmonitor uses SNMP.

My root Vixie cron crontab is set to perform a system snapshot via fsarchiver: 0 0 * * * fsarchiver savefs -o -A /backups/p30_root.fsa /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 The command itself works fine, generating about a 7G snapshot of my Suse server. I then wish to rsync this to a NAS I have located in another building: 0 3 * * * rsync -av -e ssh --delete /backups/ root{at address}:/DataVolume/os_backups/
(yes, I'm rsyncing as root. I absolutely loathe it, but I got thrown into an quasi-SA position with a ridiculous to-do list and no time to do it. I'm having to make things just work and then go back and try to improve them/learn how. I couldn't make it work in a non-root way quick enough, so for now I'm having to cron rsync jobs as root because of all the differing file permissions on this samba/MySql server. I set the NAS to only accepts ssh from the server IP, and we're behind a campus firewall... It's serious trial by fire.) The crontab also has rsync commands for the samba areas, our specialized chemistry software and affiliated MySQL databases............

On my crontab there is an entry to run a script I wrote that backs up my local files to my remote server. It was working great, running once a day. However, I now want to make the script run every hour.The problem is that if there are too manyfiles to transfer (Example:I ripped a DVD in the last hour) the actual backup may take longer than 60 minutes.So I want to modify the script to check if my backup script, based on rsync, is running. If rsync is still running then do nothing and exit the script. If it is not running, execute the script as normal.

I'm having trouble with my laptops fan not turning on while using 10.04, thus causes it to get too hot and turn off.
After that happens and I turn it back on, the fun comes on high because of the bios.
I have a Dell Studio 1737.

I'm a relative noob that's been using 9.04 for about 9 months, and 10.04 for about 1 or 2. In trying to use a couple of old Windows apps I've found WINE to be helpful, but I hit a wall with the Australian Tax Office's eTax app not playing well in WINE, so I decided to run an XP virtual machine (I have a license with my notebook anyway). I turned to KVM since it's the recommended app it appears (correct me if I'm mistaken, please). After installing kvm and virt-manager I had a hard time getting XP to install until I ran virt-manager as root, then the installation crawled (I have a core duo 1.66 with 1.5Gb RAM and 64Mb SSD, and I allocated 1 core and 512mb with 4.0Gb for the partition). I've installed XP probably 100 times on a range of hardware and it's never been this slow to install.
Once I installed it I couldn't reboot the vm (error says it's not a supported feature, which confuses me as to why it's there in virt-manager). When I shut down and came back a few days later, it advised that it couldn't see /dev/sr0. I understood this to be the CD-ROM, so I changed the boot drive to the hard disk, and it just boots to a black screen. I then changed back to boot from the CD-ROM, and sure enough I see the 'starting seabios' post screen and then it tells me that I'm booting from CD with the usual windows 'Press any key to boot...' which I allow to pass. At that point I get the 'We apologise for the inconvenience..' screen that you get when you haven't shut down windows properly, but when I select anything it just freezes.
Hence I have some questions:
1. Why does it need to boot to the cd drive?
2. Why won't it boot directly from the hard drive? It only does this when the cd-rom has timed out?
3. Why does the boot from cd-rom then timeout act differently to the boot from hard drive?
4. Why does the 'reboot' feature appear if it doesn't work?
5. The 'shutdown' feature doesn't work for me either (it appears to do nothing)
6. I tried to start XP in safemode and it hangs at mup.sys. On traditional hardware I'd have assumed that the OS had become corrupt, and one of the reasons for this could be unclean shutdowns so this could be my own doing, but I refer back to points 5 and 6.
