Thanks for the reply, Nikos. Running df -i showed the following on this Gentoo install: Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on rootfs 1038352 325350 713002 32% / /dev/root 1038352 325350 713002 2% / rc-svcdir 765382 70 765312 1% /lib64/rc/init.d udev 765382 1608 763774 1% /dev shm 765382 1 765381 1% /dev/shm /dev/sdc1 20080 42 20038 1% /boot /dev/sdc12 1770720 825 1769895 1% /home On this install, my root partition is /dev/sdc11 which is 17 GB and contains /var. I have /home on a separate partition. My other 2 installs have /var on separate partitions of 9 GB. The IUse% on those partitions is 4%. So I should have plenty of inodes available. Thanks again for the reply. I need to run more tests here. If I determine this really is a problem and it persists, I will re-post for more help. Cheers, billyd
