inodes limitations? Disk quota exceeded, but no where near it? [message #37502]

I have a user on an OpenVZ node, and he gets Disk Quota exceeded for anything he tries to do. He is using 15% of his allocated Disk, but I noticed that when I run /proc/vz/vzquota I see that VE 200 has hit the soft limit.

what is the purpose of that limit? Can't I just remove it? If so, how can I remove it all together?

Hi,

see man page: "Disk quota parameters" and "Resource limits"

# vzctl set <CTID> --diskinodes <soft:hard> --save

in your case, as an example

# vzctl set 200 --diskinodes 400000:440000 --save

Btw, for disableing vzquota, inodes you can set soft and hard to "unlimited"

Bye,
Thorsten

amazing, thank you very much. Is there a way to remove the limit for inodes like that, but keep disk space limits?

Maybe I have the synax wrong but Unlimited DOES NOT work! I am upping the diskinodes every time it crashes when it hits the limit every month or so. I am running zoneminder and it seems to hit that when I get alot of action on this server VM container. I need something that is a permanate fix. There has to be anouther solution? Its almost as if it just fills up slowly and never gets to become less.

root@HN:~# vzctl set 200 --diskinodes unlimited --save
Bad parameter for --diskinodes: unlimited
root@HN:~# vzctl set 200 --diskinodes unlimited:unlimited --save
Bad parameter for --diskinodes: unlimited:unlimited

If someone knows how to set this to unlimited let me know.

A really permanent fix would be to stop whatever is using all the inodes. Even if you get vz quota to stop complaining, eventually this will use all the inodes in the filesystem.

Look for something that is creating a lot of files and leaving them behind: session files, temporary files, etc. Either stop it doing this, or clean up by deleting old files.

Or for a cheap fix, set inode quota to a very large number.
