[SOLVED] df -i returns zero Inodes on /home

I was trying to unpack an archive when it warned me i have no space left on my drive. I ran df -h

Code: [Select]
[myth@1488 ~]$ df -h
Filesystem        Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
dev                10M     0   10M   0% /dev
run               6.9G  1.6M  6.9G   1% /run
efivarfs          128K   95K   29K  77% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
/dev/mapper/root  104G   43G   60G  42% /
cgroup_root        10M     0   10M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
shm               6.9G   23M  6.8G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/root  104G   43G   60G  42% /home
/dev/sda1         549M  175M  375M  32% /boot
tmpfs             1.4G  8.0K  1.4G   1% /run/user/1000

and got this which is weird since the archive is only 4gbs.

So I ran df -i

Code: [Select]
[myth@1488 ~]$ df -i
Filesystem        Inodes IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
dev              1778692   655 1778037    1% /dev
run              1783059  1040 1782019    1% /run
efivarfs               0     0       0     - /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
/dev/mapper/root       0     0       0     - /
cgroup_root      1783059    17 1783042    1% /sys/fs/cgroup
shm              1783059    72 1782987    1% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/root       0     0       0     - /home
/dev/sda1              0     0       0     - /boot
tmpfs             356611    11  356600    1% /run/user/1000

and I got this. Now at this point I am quite confused. I am still able to download and use normal uncompressed files.
I am using ext4

By what method are you trying to unpack the archive ?

I only asked because since fairly recently I've had this issue sometimes with Ark. Claims there is insufficient space when I know there is plenty.
But every time this has happened, it's not consistent and I can't yet work out a pattern, using the command line tool has worked fine.

But you seems to be saying unrar failed as well ?

unrar failed and i also did unrar -t <archive> and it said ALL OK with no errors

EDIT:
Unrar fails with "No files to extract"

It's better to post the command used and the output.

I may have accidentally deleted the archive but i downloaded a sample one and it unpacked fine so i think its the archive was corrupt, but i am still confused as to why df says theres no inodes? i am pretty sure im using ext4 is there a cmd i can use to check to make sure?

/dev/mapper/root is something to do with lvm isn't it ?
That could be why ? I wouldn't worry about it. The normal df command shows free space.
In many years of using linux I've never run out of inodes on any ext4 partition

I could be wrong but I suspect you came across the same Ark bug I've encountered and then there was something amiss with your follow-up terminal command. But we will never know.
