    Hello all,

    I was investigating a problem we believed we had with our monitoring
    software (from sysorb.com), where it failed to report the number of
    free and allocated inodes.

    However, looking into the problem I found that it's the kernel that's
    returning bogus values.

    What do you think of this ?
    [root]# cat /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr
    157097 -180

    The number of free inodes is negative ! I find it hard to believe that
    that's correct.

    Kernel: 2.4.4 on i686

    All filesystems are ext2fs.

    If you need more information, let me know.
