HELP - Filesystem ran out of Inodes!

Linux-RAC-AdminSep 19 2008 — edited Sep 22 2008
During Oracle install our /apps filesystem ran out of inodes -

There is plenty of space -

#DF -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg200-lvol02
89G 8.9G 76G 11% /apps

But inodes are gone -

#df -i
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg200-lvol02
91136 91136 0 100% /apps

# uname -r
2.6.18-53.el5

Here is Tune2fs info -

#tune2fs -l /dev/vg200/lvol02
tune2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)

So, I haven't found anything that says this can be fixed on the fly, unfortunately. It is looking like I may have to clean off the filesystem and start from scratch.

If anyone has a procedure to get around this I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
