[Ocfs2-users] "no space left on device" related to directory limit

Hello,

We have a 3-node cluster setup with ocfs2. 

Since friday one of the nodes went down and would not become clustermember after a reboot because it was unable to write to the ocfs2 filesystem. Message: no space left on device.

There is plenty of diskspace though.

No problem whatsoever to create a file / directory on the filesystem using one of the other nodes.

Today one of  the remaining 2-nodes got the same symptoms. 

We started deleting some directories after which we were able to get the clusternodes up-and-running again.

Is there a limit on files / directories for an ocfs2 filesystem ? I've read something about 32000 subdirectories but with 21450 directories total we weren't even close to that number.

Thanks,

Feite Brekeveld
