Sorry, I can't collect the report: apport isn't installed on the server, and the whole problem is that, having run out of inodes, I can't install anything (nor save files). Cleaning up and rebooting will destroy the logfiles of interest.
The key point here is that: root@archimedes:/home/rjn# dmesg | grep -i inode [ 0.004000] Inode-cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 10, 4194304 bytes) [ 1.640998] EXT4-fs (xvda2): 1 orphan inode deleted i.e. there is an absence of the log message along the lines of: "Warning: /dev/xvda2 has run out of inodes, cannot create new file" As requested, confirming anyway. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1665833 Title: inode exhaustion should be logged to dmesg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1665833/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
