Problem
The command "df" displays output which indicates that there are no inodes or filesystem space available in /dev/odm.
What is the impact (if any) of the lack of inodes in /dev/odm?
Error Message
No errors are indicated.
Solution
The "/dev/odm" mountpoint is a special device, not a regular filesystem.
The outputs from "df" (for example):
# df -h /dev/odm
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/odm 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/odm
# df -g /dev/odm
/dev/odm (/dev/odm ): 1024 block size 1024 frag size
0 total blocks 0 free blocks 0 available 5 total files
0 free files 100139008 filesys id /dev/odm
odm fstype 00000000 flag 16 filename length
The outputs above show "0" values for total blocks, free blocks, and others, but this behavior is expected.
These values must be populated by the odm driver as placeholders.
Where no values are returned to the OS commands which may be executed against the /dev/odm special device , errors could occur (due to an expected attribute value not being returned).
The zero values have no impact on the proper operation of the /dev/odm special device.
