I'm running a CentOS 4.6 final box with a second drive array (raid 1, the mount is /mnt/raid, as listed below in my nagios warning) that uses ntfs-3g as the file system. My nagios warnings just went off saying that I'm running out of inodes but still have 10% of the drive space available (I am aware this is common).
However I'm possibly mis-understanding the problem since when I do a df -hi, my output seems to indicate I only have a pending drive space issue. Also, NTFS does not use inodes, so what gives?
Here's my df -hi output
[root@images ~]# df -hi
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
9.1M 190K 8.9M 3% /
/dev/hda1 26K 39 26K 1% /boot
none 127K 1 127K 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 52M 141K 52M 1% /mnt/raid
here's my df -h output:
[root@images ~]# df -h

none 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 466G 415G 52G 90% /mnt/raid
here's my fstab file:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1

/dev/sdd1 /extraid ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom2 auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
And here's my Nagios warning:
DISK WARNING - free space: /mnt/raid 52452 MB (10% inode=99%):
The warning says free space, but 52GB is plenty at 10% available. What concerns me is the inode=99% part. Doesn't this mean Nagios is reporting that 99% of inodes on /mnt/raid are being used? /mnt/raid is NTFS, so I don't think it even uses inodes? Correct?
