inodes are needed for directory entries.  Running out of inodes means
you've run out of space for directory entries, and thus can't create
any new files.

"df -hi" will tell you how many inodes are available on your
filesystems.

Short-term, the solution is to delete some files off your /var
partition.  Long term, you may need to reformat /var with more inodes
than the default, if this is a chronic problem.
