I also had a problem running out of inodes (actually I was monitoring the
disk usage on one 110 meg drive that is used for news articles and noticed
my percentage of inode usage was twice that of actual usage).  I ended up
re-making the file system and hard setting the number of inodes - and
everything has been working fine.
