Increasing or Freeing inodes



Hi,

I got this warning from nagios about one of my debian systems

DISK WARNING - free space: /var 426 GB (54% inode=99%): / 6 GB (1%
inode=89%): /boot 173 GB (99% inode=99%):

I am runnig backuppc on this server and I guess it is those hardlinks
that are consuming the inodes.
Is there any way to increase the inode nos?

My partitions are


Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4 564G 529G 6.2G 99% /
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 68K 10M 1% /dev
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 184G 200M 174G 1% /boot
/dev/sdb2 92G 188M 87G 1% /home
/dev/sda3 141G 188M 134G 1% /tmp
/dev/sdb1 826G 357G 427G 46% /var

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdb2 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda3 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdb1 /var ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0


Otherwise I guess due to the lack of inodes I wont be able to use the
free space left :-(

Thanks
