[hobbit] out of inodes

[Brodie, Kent]

I think solaris (by default) doesn't allocate nearly enough inodes as
(for example) ext3 inder linux.    I recall dealing with inode issues
under solaris 6 and 7 for an email server.   I agree- a royal pain......

On my system, a redhat box monitoring 122 servers and with nearly
150,000 history files, looks like this:

Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda5            2562240   22092 2540148    1% /
/dev/sda1             127744      86  127658    1% /boot
none                  129323       1  129322    1% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1            3842720  159572 3683148    5% /home
/dev/sda6             895840      48  895792    1% /tmp
/dev/sda3            2562240  151660 2410580    6% /usr
/dev/sda2            2562240   23386 2538854    1% /var

Hobbit never deletes history-logs by itself. You can use the
"trimhistory" utility to remove old logfiles, or you can just setup a
simple "find /home/hobbit/data/histlogs -mtime +90 | xargs rm" cronjob
to wipe all history-logs older than 90 days (or whatever you prefer).
