Thanks for the reply, Nikos.

Running df -i showed the following on this Gentoo install:
 
Filesystem          Inodes        IUsed        IFree     IUse%    Mounted on
rootfs                1038352    325350    713002   32%     /
/dev/root         1038352    325350    713002    2%        /
rc-svcdir             765382            70    765312     1%   /lib64/rc/init.d
udev                  765382        1608    763774     1%   /dev
shm                    765382              1     765381    1%   /dev/shm
/dev/sdc1            20080            42      20038     1%   /boot
/dev/sdc12       1770720         825   1769895    1%   /home

On this install, my root partition is /dev/sdc11 which is 17 GB and contains 
/var.  I have /home on a separate partition.

My other 2 installs have /var on separate partitions of 9 GB.  The IUse% on 
those partitions is 4%.  So I should have plenty of inodes available.

Thanks again for the reply. I need to run more tests here. If I determine this 
really is a problem and it persists, I will re-post for more help.

Cheers,
