Hi there have you fixed this if not let me know by replying and tagging me @Infinity and I’ll try something.

I wasn’t able to fix it. I have this problem since 22 or 23 this month i posted here several times you replied you were upgrading the servers i knew it wasn’t because of that. @Infinity

@Infinity should i just reset the website and start over? i have backups

Hey sorry, alright I’ll have one quick look.

iNode Usage is probably the issue here.

Maximum allowed inodes limit is 20000

Your website might not work as expected once you hit the limit.

How to reduce inodes?

In case your website has reached the limit on the number of inodes it contains, here are some tips on how to reduce their number:

Remove files that are not used any more
Remove old log, cache, temporary files
Remove unused image thumbnails
Upgrade your plan to get more resources

What is inode?

inode is a data structure in Linux file system, Which holds all the information about your files in your Linux server. The number of files in your account indicates the relative amount of files in your account. More inode count means, more files. This inode count includes everything including, emails, files, image files, data files, my sql files, others files, JS/HTML/CSS files, what ever you create in your account is all calculated together to find the total inode count in your account.

Why to have inode limit?

Total inode count limit prevents users from abusing the server’s shared resources. It not only affects your own website, It will affect 100s of other website hosted on the same server.

inodes = folders + files count
Inodes count is not real time, it refresh once in 24 hours.

I have created a “temp” folder.

Can you try your operations now?

Yes it works now thaank you so much only you helped me
