Inodes are missing in Plesk's CloudLinux Manager

If you're experiencing an issue where inodes are missing in Plesk's CloudLinux Manager, it's important to address this promptly as it can impact the performance and stability of your server. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

  1. Verify Disk Space and Inode Usage:

    • Check the overall disk space and inode usage on your server using commands like df -h and df -i. This will give you an overview of your current usage.
  2. Check Quotas:

    • Make sure that quotas are properly enabled for the partition where the inodes are missing. Use the quotacheck and quotaon commands to manage quotas.
  3. Examine CloudLinux Configuration:

    • Check the CloudLinux settings in Plesk. Ensure that CloudLinux is properly installed, configured, and integrated with Plesk. Review the settings in CloudLinux's LVE Manager for any anomalies.
  4. Monitor Resource Usage:

    • Use CloudLinux's LVE Manager to monitor resource usage by individual users or domains. Look for any accounts that may be consuming an excessive number of inodes.
  5. Clean Up Unnecessary Files:

    • Identify and remove any unnecessary or unused files on your server. This includes old backups, temporary files, log files, and cached data.
  6. Review Error Logs:

    • Check for any error messages related to inode usage in the system logs. This might provide additional context on what is causing the issue.
  7. Contact Support:

    • If you're using a hosting provider or a specific software package that includes Plesk and CloudLinux, contact their support team for assistance. They may have specific recommendations or troubleshooting steps for your environment.
  8. Consider Increasing Inode Limit:

    • If you consistently encounter inode shortages, you might need to consider increasing the inode limit on your filesystem. This can be a complex operation and should be done carefully.

Remember, the specific steps to resolve this issue may vary depending on your server's configuration and the hosting environment. Consulting with your system administrator or the support team for your hosting environment is advisable.
