>i got a kernel-error: kernel: VFS no free inodes - contact linus ummm... if this is the error I think it is, it basically means that your "disk is full", or rather, you have too many files on your disk. This can be fixed by re-initializing your partition (note that this will erase all data!) with more inodes-per-sector (mke2fs has a command line option for this), deleting lots of *small* files, or adding a new disk and moving stuff.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM: df -i says: Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree %IUsed Mounted on /dev/sda1 1572864 58572 1514292 4% /
These are inodes of the ext2-fs on the raid.
But cat /proc/sys/kernel/inode-nr ( growing and growing ) shows at the same time: 4007
It seems that there are different inode-numbers, one for ext2 and other for VFS. Is that right ?? ( Sorry about my questions, but I am no kernel-specialist .)
Are there processes, which could influence these inodes ? ( nfs, samba, inn,....)
