Running out of inodes disk space, free space left on device - diskspace

I am getting the message 'disk is full' despite having plenty of free space.
Inodes :-
$ df -i

centos rsync No space left on device

Hint on centos7 when writing to file. No space left on device (28), but I checked the disk and Inodes both have space. I don't know why. Has this ever happened to anyone?

check "Disk space vs Inode usage"
df -h vs df -i
check also - No space left on device
Assuming this is ext[3|4], check and see if any of the folders you are rsyncing contains about 1M files. Note it is not a straight forward limit that has over flowed, it is more complicated and related to length of your filenames and depth of b-trees.
It is not disk space or inodes. It is the directory index that may have overflowed. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/644071/ubuntu-12-04-ext4-ext4-dx-add-entry2006-directory-index-full

No space left on device even after increasing the volume and partition size on EC2

I have an EC2 instance with 2 EBS volumes. On the root volume, I increased the volume size.
First I modified the volume size on console. Then followed this instruction to extended the partition following this instruction.
However, when running any command, I get No space left on device.
echo "Hello" > hello.txt
-bash: hello.txt: No space left on device
The df -h correctly shows, the total space correctly.

The bottom of the guide said,
If the increased available space on your volume remains invisible to
the system, try re-initializing the volume as described in
Initializing Amazon EBS Volumes.
So I followed the instruction to reinitialize the volume.
I used dd to reinitialize.
sudo dd if=/dev/xvda of=/dev/null bs=1M
30720+0 records in
30720+0 records out
32212254720 bytes (32 GB, 30 GiB) copied, 504.621 s, 63.8 MB/s
However, I still get "No space left on device" error. I have done multipe reboot of the instance, I still see the same error.
Update 1: I have a large number of small files 4-10KB. So, I am running out of inodes. Please let me know how to increase the inodes (on ext4 partition)? Thanks.

Please let me know how to resolve this error.
You don't need to reinitialise the volumes if you are using the new generations EC2 instance type like M4, M5, T2 and T3.
You have to also expand your volume on EC2 instance:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/recognize-expanded-volume-linux.html
As I can see your Inode is full, try this command to find the directory:
for i in /*; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done
Then, after finding the directory, do:
for i in /path/to/directory/*; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done
After that remove those file using:
rm -rf /path/to/fileorfoldername
As you don't want to remove the files, you will have to create a new filesystem using mke2fs and -I parameter for inode size, or keep increasing your root volume more.
Here is a similar question for it:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26598/how-can-i-increase-the-number-of-inodes-in-an-ext4-filesystem
Also, you can move your files to secondary drive.
You are running out of inodes on your / (root) directory. so to debug it, you need:
Find what are the inodes pointing to or open files something like for i in /*; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done
Now look for directories which take more time and then delete that dir

EC2 Storage attached at sda is /dev/xvde1 cannot resize

I have cPanel & WHm installed on an EC2 instance.
The EC2 EBS volume is 100GB
CentOS 6 x86_64 (2014_09_29) EBS pv-1-adc4348e-1dc3-41df-b833-e86ba57a33d6-ami-809020e8.2 (ami-bc8131d4)
This is what df -h shows:

/usr/tmpDSK 485M 11M 449M 3% /tmp
The EBS is mounted at /dev/sda
I am trying to increase the size of the xvde1 to almost fill the 100GB
When I run resize2fs /dev/xvde1 i get this:
root#vs1 [~]# resize2fs /dev/xvde1
resize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
The filesystem is already 2096896 blocks long. Nothing to do!
I have tried the solution stated here: EC2 Can't resize volume after increasing size
But when i reboot the instance it gets stuck on 1/2 Status Checks
I saw something that stated to start the partition on 16 and also to use the same start as it is in the original configuration. This did not work.
Here is some more information and other things that i have tried:

Before resizing the filesystem by "resize2fs" command you should first resize your partition:
let's list block devices attached to our box:
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda 202:0 0 16G 0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1 0 8G 0 part /
As you can see /dev/xvda1 is only 8 GiB partition on a 16 GiB device and there are no other partitions on the volume.
step-1) We will use "growpart" to resize 8G partition up to 16G:
# install "cloud-guest-utils" if it is not installed already
apt install cloud-guest-utils
# resize partition
growpart /dev/xvda 1
Let's check the result (you can see /dev/xvda1 is now 16G):
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda 202:0 0 16G 0 disk
└─xvda1 202:1 0 16G 0 part /
Lots of SO answers suggest to use fdisk with delete / recreate partitions, which is nasty, risky, error-prone process especially when we change boot drive.
step-2) resize file system to grow all the way to fully use new partition space
# Check before resizing ("Avail" shows 1.1G):
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1 7.8G 6.3G 1.1G 86% /
# resize filesystem
resize2fs /dev/xvda1
# Check after resizing ("Avail" now shows 8.7G!-):
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1 16G 6.3G 8.7G 42% /
And by the way, there's no need to stop instance and detach EBS volume to resize it anymore! 13-Feb-2017 Amazon announced: "Amazon EBS Update – New Elastic Volumes Change Everything" See my other SO answer for details.
Update: Use sudo xfs_growfs /dev/xvda1 instead of resize2fs when XFS filesystem
This answer is dangerous, hasn't been verified since 2016, and has the potential to delete your partition if you're not aware of what's happening. Use with caution, and please reference #Dmitry's answer below as well.
To expand on JD's answer, here's exactly what to do:
df -h #print the name of your boot partition
lsblk #show info on all your block devices
You'll see from that output what the name of the disk is of your root partition. For example, you probably see something like this:
xvde 202:64 0 32G 0 disk
└─xvde1 202:65 0 8G 0 part /
Our goal is to make xvde1 use the whole available space from xvde.
Here's how to resize your partition:
fdisk /dev/xvda (the disk name, not your partition)
This enters into the fdisk utility.
u #Change the display to sectors
p #Print info
d #Delete the partition
n #New partition
p #Primary partition
1 #Partition number
2048 #First sector
Press Enter to accept the default
p #Print info
a #Toggle the bootable flag
1 #Select partition 1
w #Write table to disk and exit
Now, reboot your instance:
reboot
After it comes back do:
resize2fs /dev/xvde1 (the name of your partition, not the block device)
And finally verify the new disk size:
df -h
After searching and searching with no answer here, i FINALLY came across the answer!
"fdisk, put it into 'units' mode by typing 'u' then 'p' to print the partition table as it is now and write down the starting sector of the existing partition. Then delete that partition and make a new one, with the same partition number and starting on exactly the same sector and ending at the end of the disk, make sure that partition is 'active' then save your changes and reboot. Once you reboot after that, you should be able to resize2fs the existing filesystem to take up all space. Backups are recommended and it's your data to lose!!"
Putting it into sectors via Units mode helped me select the proper start and end of the FS!!

I know the question is answered already. But still, if someone is stuck with the problem and need a more detailed step by step explanation. You can check out the official Amazon docs. This has the steps to increase the size and specific commands if you are using the "ec2-user (amazon ami)" instance.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/recognize-expanded-volume-linux.html
also if you are using windows instance. You can visit
"For information about extending a Windows file system, see Extending a Windows file system after resizing a volume in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Windows Instances."
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/recognize-expanded-volume-windows.html

~]# yum install -y dracut-modules-growroot cloud-utils-growpart
4. The initrd needs to be rebuilt after installing the dracut-modules-growroot.
Create a backup copy of the current initramfs:
~]# cp -p /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img.bak
(ii)Create the initramfs for the current kernel:
~]# dracut -f
4. Result after reboot
~]# reboot
~]# lsblk

create a ramdisk in C++ on linux

I need to make a ramfs an mount it to an directory in linux using c++. I want to make it like a user (no sudo).
I need to call an application on a file that i created and it will be often. Writing it to HDD is very slow.
I found just:
system("mkdir /mnt/ram");
system("mount -t ramfs -o size=20m ramfs /mnt/ram");
but that is not good. I want to be a regular user, and command mount can be called just as root.
what can i do?
For a userspace ramfs solution, you can use python-fuse-ramfs.
I checket if /tmp is a ramfs, but it is not. It creates files on the HDD. but when i run df -h it outputs:
rootfs 25G 9,4G 15G 40% /
devtmpfs 1,9G 0 1,9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 1,9G 1,6G 347M 83% /dev/shm
tmpfs 1,9G 1,3M 1,9G 1% /run
/dev/mapper/vg_micro-root 25G 9,4G 15G 40% /
tmpfs 1,9G 0 1,9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 1,9G 0 1,9G 0% /media
/dev/mapper/vg_micro-stack 289G 191M 274G 1% /stack
/dev/mapper/vg_micro-home 322G 40G 266G 14% /home
/dev/sda2 485M 89M 371M 20% /boot
/dev/sda1 200M 19M 182M 10% /boot/efi
This means that tmpfs (ramdisks) are: /dev/shm, /run, /sys/fs/cgroup and /media. But only one of this is meant to be a temporary ramdisk for comunication between processes, using files. Here is the /dev/shm description and usage. The only thing is that tmpfs will not grow dynamically, but for my purposes it will be enough (20MB - 1GB).
