Hi Today I=B4ve come across an issue long ago forgotten :) Running out of = i-nodes. The condition was triggered on a 8 GB /usr filesystem which includes the = ports tree, on which I have compiled several ports and their = dependencies. I know, maybe not the best practices, it's a machine = being used to test a couple of thingies, but I wonder how many newbies = can run into such a problem. I guess many. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused = ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/ad1s1e 8245660 5308960 2277048 70% 507099 61219 = 89% /usr Now i-nodes aren't completely full, as I have deleted /usr/obj (turns = out I had made a make world as well). Looking at the number of i-nodes per /usr subdirectory, I have noticed = that, wow! /usr/ports consumes A LOT of them.=20 freebsd9-borja# find . -print | wc -l 405481 I know the /usr isn't that large, and I know that I have compiled a lot = on this battered /usr filesystem, but with the increasing complexity of = many programs and the increased number of dependences in ports, I would: 1) At least double the default number of i-nodes per filesystem 2) Suggest strongly in sysinstall to create a /usr/ports filesystem for = the ports. But probably this won't be popular and many people will tend = to create a single large root to rule them all.... What do you think? I can't imagine what it might have been if I had = compiled Gnome or KDE... :D Borja. For the record, the ports I had compiled are: drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Oct 11 18:21 converters/libiconv/work drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Oct 13 12:19 converters/php52-iconv/work drwxr-xr-x 3 root
