The inode is a data structure in a Unix-style file system that describes a file-system object such as a file or a directory. Each inode stores the attributes and disk block location(s) of the object's data. File-system object attributes may include metadata (times of last change, access, modification), as well as owner and permission data. Inode is also known as Index node.
Directories are lists of names assigned to inodes. A directory contains an entry for itself, its parent, and each of its children. Sometimes, we may face space issue in disks which has storage space. Mostly this issue occurs because of inode filling. The file system might have storage space available, but the inode table does not have space.
The command to check the storage space is given below.
The command to check the inode usage is given below.
If the inode capacity of a disk is full, we will not be able to write any data to the disk. Usually this issue happens when we keep large number of small files.
