That's most likely exactly the hd space problem. Here's a clip from
a while back in rocksolid.nodes:

i2pn2 has been running out of inodes, while bytes availble is high
(many GBs) This is due to the small size of news articles just wasting
inodes.

I created a new partition not much bigger than the original, but with
more available inodes. The new partition 20% larger than the old, but
has 500% more inodes available.

If you format the partition as 'mkfs.ext4 -t news', you will end up
with an ext2 filesystem that is very appropriate for a tradspool inn2
setup.

I've done this two times, and both times I found it necessary to repair
the install with tdx-util to repair tradindexd inode mismatch errors.
This has happened each time. Once repaired 'tdx-util -F', it seems to
be working well.

Just thought I'd leave all the detail here in case you choose to go this
direction with your server.
