Too many inode?












0















I am using a MacBook Pro, and I found something weird recently, which is the number of ifree is ridiculously large. The following is the output of the df command:



$ df -i -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/dev/disk1s1 234Gi 204Gi 19Gi 92% 2915232 9223372036851860575 0% /
devfs 188Ki 188Ki 0Bi 100% 650 0 100% /dev
/dev/disk1s4 234Gi 10Gi 19Gi 36% 10 9223372036854775797 0% /private/var/vm
map -hosts 0Bi 0Bi 0Bi 100% 0 0 100% /net
map auto_home 0Bi 0Bi 0Bi 100% 0 0 100% /home


As you can see, the number of my free inode is 9223372036851860575, and %iused is almost not able to be larger than 0%.



Is this normal? How should I do with this problem?

          Apple filesystems don't use inodes in the way that Unix and Linux filesystems do. The output of df -i is kinda a kludge to keep things working.



          If you look carefully, the value you see is 2^63-inodes_used-1



          What you're seeing is perfectly normal and not a problem.
