Hi

> Could anyone give me a hint ???????? You should be able to increase the relevant values by echoing values to /proc. Check what inode-max says (this will show you the maximum available on your system):
cat /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max 12288
Then see how many you are actually using: cat /proc/sys/kernel/inode-nr 2736 1941
if the numbers of close together, just increase the maximum, like this:
(the file numbers and inode numbers normally increase in the same ratio... so if you double inodes, you should double file-max, and vs versa)
/bin/echo 4096 >/proc/sys/kernel/file-max /bin/echo 12288 > /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max
you can check how close to file-max you are getting by typing: cat /proc/sys/kernel/file-max
