short of inodes (chroot-httpd/opt/tmpfs)

Hello all,

we are using an Astaro Security Getway V7 and since yesterday we receive the Notification "Root partition is short of inodes - please check." I looked into the problem, and it seems there are 75% of inodes used in the var/sec/chroot-httpd/opt/tmpfs directory.
Is there a way to clear this up/fix without reboot? I didn't want to try anything because i'm not sure how important the files are and what kind of effect it would have to the live firewall.

688K inodes, 514K used

thanks&cheers
Tobias

Hi, clearing the http cache should do it, but you should probably open a support ticket first.

At least, look to see how full the partition is (under reporting-hardware), and/or run these commands first:
df
df -i

df -i looks like this

and 68% of root is in use, 3.4G of 5.3G (which is the same for /var/sec/chroot-httpd/opt/tmpfs).
