First it means you're using a filesystem with a small fixed number of
inodes, obviously EXT.
Second, you have a serious problem here because it is your root
filesystem that has run out of inodes. You need to ask yourself why you
have 1.7M files in your rootfs. That's very dumb. That's what /home
and /data and other places are to be used for.
To remedy this you will need to copy files off of the rootfs to another
filesystem, then delete them from your rootfs to free some of these inodes.
Food for thought: your /dev/sda7 is an EXT filesystem of 26GB with 1.7M
inodes. XFS would give you ~23M inodes on a 26GB filesystem.
