Re: [Xen-users] Guest says: no space left on device; but thats not true

[Olaf Krause <krause@xxxxxxx>]

Thank you!

Shame on me!

I did the test with some few big files.
The inodes went so low, the booting Linux acquired the the rest.

Now i made a backup and created a new image with more inodes. 256k 
(262144) seems to be the default value. Now I use by hand:
  mkfs.ext3 -N 1048567 -b 1024 $NEW_IMAGE

...and the guest runs fine.

Best regards
  Olaf
