I'm running a 64bit kernel Linux (Debian Lenny) self compiled kernel 2.6.30.4. I have created a 5T xfs filesystem, it is about half full but I get "No space left on device"

Here is the output of df:

gen:/fstore-1# df .
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/mega--raid--1-fstore--1
                     5265707008 2711698716 2554008292  52% /fstore-1
gen:/fstore-1# df -i .
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/mega--raid--1-fstore--1
                     1053167616  736704 1052430912    1% /fstore-1
gen:/fstore-1# >abc
-bash: abc: No space left on device

What limit did I hit?

lower 2T of disk full? so it might have trouble allocating free space for inodes

does remoutning with inode64 help?

Yes, that helped, thanks.

The explanation in the man page for mount of the inode64 is not clear on the effect of this option.
