    Your terminology feels a little strange (to me), but there is no actual clear definition of inode. Inodes are 'blocks' (maybe thinking of them as clusters if you use NTFS), and a disk when formatted is divided into a set number of blocks/inodes & once used up, no more files can be created on that file-system (not just a single directory on the file-system, the whole file-system is impacted; though an error message may refer to only the directory where it's noted due to programmers chosen error message). I'd normally use du (disk usage which has --inodes option) – guiverc May 02 '21 at 22:31

    Does this answer your question? There is no space left on the device – Raffa May 03 '21 at 02:11
  • Does this answer your question? Root drive is running out of disk space. How can I free up space? – karel May 03 '21 at 16:37
  • actually my problem exceed number of the file number. Althougt when exceed that space, i can't signing in because can not create session. I'm not expert on that os. – epolat May 04 '21 at 23:00
  • You should be able to login using a text terminal (a GUI session will require space available in $HOME yes, text terminal logins have no such restriction). When you format the file-system is when you set the inode parameters though most of use defaults which are consequence of fs selected, size etc (creating extra partitions for specific needs to aid maintenance if we deem it necessary etc but that's all done at setup time to prevent/reduce this issue during operation) – guiverc May 04 '21 at 23:23
  • i solved my problem,
    • I find file(which has a bilion of file), that files store session information about users, so i delete that files with command find (/home/admin/tmp -mtime +90 -exec rm -f {} ;),
