Re: No inodes free on /var
I'm pretty sure that in order to raise the number of inodes, you'll
have to reformat the partition, which will mean moving your news
articles aside; there may be a way to edit a live ext2 filesystem to
raise the inode count but even then I'd want to make sure I had a
backup of /var, as it's likely to be risky.
Once you have /var backed up, check into the mke2fs manpage. There
might not be an option for tuning a filesystem in the standard debian
install but it shouldn't be too hard to format your /dev/hda3 by hand
instead of having the installation scripts do it for you.
