[cs615asa] Question about our homework how to use up all Inode.

[Aimal Wajihuddin]

I ran into issues if I created only files and only folders. The error message you got was for too many links in that singular folder. You need to do it in multiple directories, not just one (at least that was my experience) so as to fill up the inodes.

You can do it this way, it is similar to the way I did it. However, I have since found out that it is easier to simply create symlinks instead of files and/or folders.

Regards,
Aimal

You can check your file size by:
File on disk size: du -sh file.txt
File size: ls -lh

Check the size of the file. If there is huge file, reduce its size and make it smaller then again make more files.

Dear everyone
 I have a problem about our homework.
 I tried my best to used all the inode.  I use scripts to created more than 600000 files and 60000 until the system kill that process. And when I input mkdir xxx, there will show that "Too many links". But when I input df -i, it shows that it still has a lot of inodes Available.
