    Your terminology feels a little strange (to me), but there is no actual clear definition of inode. Inodes are 'blocks' (maybe thinking of them as clusters if you use NTFS), and a disk when formatted is divided into a set number of blocks/inodes & once used up, no more files can be created on that file-system (not just a single directory on the file-system, the whole file-system is impacted; though an error message may refer to only the directory where it's noted due to programmers chosen error message). I'd normally use `du` (disk usage which has --inodes option) – guiverc May 02 '21 at 22:31

  • actually my problem exceed number of the file number. Althougt when exceed that space, i can't signing in because can not create session. I'm not expert on that os. – epolat May 04 '21 at 23:00
  • You should be able to login using a text terminal (a GUI session will require space available in $HOME yes, text terminal logins have no such restriction). When you format the file-system is when you set the inode parameters though most of use defaults which are consequence of *fs* selected, size etc (creating extra partitions for specific needs to aid maintenance if we deem it necessary etc but that's all done at setup time to prevent/reduce this issue during operation) – guiverc May 04 '21 at 23:23
  • i solved my problem, - I find file(which has a bilion of file), that files store session information about users, so i delete that files with command find (/home/admin/tmp -mtime +90 -exec rm -f {} \;), – epolat May 29 '21 at 00:49
