I didn't know that the filesystem could run out of inodes before the
disk space itself! thanks for the information :-)
Long shot, but check if root can write files. If yes, it probably means
your reserved block count is a bit high (default is 5% I believe). The
reserved block count is a mechanism that disallows further writes to the
filesystem if it gets too full, and only root can keep writing.
If that's your problem, the reserved block count can be changed with the
tune2fs tool. To set it to, say 2%, you would run:
tune2fs -m 2 /dev/sda6
I don't know if it's safe to do this while the filesystem is mounted.
To play it safe, go to single user mode, umount /home, and only then run
the above command.
