Delete some files from /var. There's no other way to recover inodes. And
find out what caused so many inodes to be used up. It's unusual.

Two likely causes are Usenet news feeds and Internet proxy caches. Both store lots of small files. If you get large amounts of email, MH stores messages individually as well, IIRC.

Use the following command to find the directories where many files have been stored.
find / -type d -size +10k

Note that this represents the maximum number of files that have been stored there, not the number that are. I don't think any of the Linux filesystems automatically reclaim unused directory entry space...
