what exactly is an inode? And also how is it possible that there is
disk space on a partition and I cannot write to it? how is this
related to inode?
An inode is a data structure which contains all information about a file
except for its actual name and its contents, the metadata. The number of
inodes for a partition is preconfigured via an algorithm considering the
total size and average file size, but if a large number of (small) files
is put on that partition, you may end up running out of inodes before
you run out of actual space.
