no space left on disk

Hello. I'm having this inodes issue too it seems. I cannot run a specific app because "no space left on disk", but disk is OK. Can anyone please help me? @girish

@alex-uxlabsmx I forked your question to a separate topic , that one was 4 years old.

So, you are saying, you have disk space but app install fails with 'no space on disk' ? Can you check the output of df -h ?

Hello Girish, I attached a screenshot of df -h and df -i

In this situation, I used to do internet searches but typically now I have use an AI chat bot to present the problem and ask for a solution. Have you tried that?

Example

The df -h command shows the disk space usage in human-readable format, while df -i displays the inode usage. If df -i is reporting 100% usage, it means you've run out of inodes, which are data structures used to store information about files and directories.

Before proceeding, could you check if there's a particular directory consuming a large number of inodes? You can do this by running the following command:

sudo find / -xdev -type f | cut -d "/" -f 2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

This command will help identify if there's a specific directory with an unusually high number of files. Please share the output or your observations.

Yeah I tried internet searches and AI chatbot solutions but it didn't gave me a solution, I only found how to identify the problem. The thing is that I don't know how to solve it. I ran your suggested command in / and /app/code/ and this is the result:

I think you ran the command in a Web Terminal. You have to run those by SSHing into your server.

Rereading the post again, it would help to understand what the situation is. You are installing an app and when installing it says "no space left on disk" ? Can you give us a screenshot?
