hi , our centos os has an ext3 file system. and i cant create any more
directories, it gives me a too many links error, even when doing a
manual mkdir.
is there any workaround for this? without changing it to a different
file system like reiserFS? we dont have a reiserfs module in the os so
it will have to be installed. and can it be possible to install a
reiserFS without having to reformat the os? just mount it after
installing? please advise
first,
# tune2fs -l /dev/hda2
(or whatever) and note how many inodes on this file system. I'm
assuming you're out of free inodes. If this isn't the case, then stop
right now, I'm wrong.
assuming you do need to increase the inode count, backup all the files
on this file system to temporary media
then
# mkfs.ext3 -N XXXXX /dev/hda2
where XXXXX is some larger number of inodes suitable for your
application. I wouldn't increase by any more than the free block count
shown in that tune2fs report.
then remount the file system and restore your backup.
