Hi All,

I am running FreeBSD 5.4 and have recently received the following =
message on our box for the /var partiton.
No inodes left.

I have checked the statistics and there was an apache httpd log which =
was maxing out the usable space. I have since removed this file and the =
available space has dropped to over 50%. However I still get the 'no =
inodes left' message even though I have freed the space.

Does anyone know how I can get the inodes to be freed up on the /var =
partition.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Phil.
