Is it a KVM-VPS or Dedicated server ?

To check what is holding a lock

Code: Select all

lsof +f -- /home/admin/tmp

then kill the process and try

# Check iNodes if full

Code: Select all

df -i

# Clear Caches (DOESNT WORK on OPENVZ)

Code: Select all

sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sync; echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

If possible: shutdown your server for 10 minutes, then reboot it. This shall clear all cache and kernel flags and release any locks

Your iNodes are full. This is a sever problem.

clear your caches as I told and power off, then reboot as I said.
