Hi All,

I was under the (possibly false) impression that if you have a filesystem where 
the system pool contains metadata only then the only thing that would cause the 
amount of free space in that pool to change is the creation of more inodes … is 
that correct?  In other words, given that I have a filesystem with 130 million 
free (but allocated) inodes:

Inode Information
-----------------
Number of used inodes:       218635454
Number of free inodes:       131364674
Number of allocated inodes:  350000128
Maximum number of inodes:    350000128

I would not expect that a user creating a few hundred or thousands of files 
could cause a “no space left on device” error (which I’ve got one user 
getting).  There’s plenty of free data space, BTW.

Now my system pool is almost “full”:

(pool total)           2.878T                                   34M (  0%)      
  140.9M ( 0%)

But again, what - outside of me creating more inodes - would cause that to 
change??

Thanks…

Kevin
