12 2 GB for a /usr partition looks quite small to me, but may by okay for a
13 small installation. But to increase the number of inodes, you have backup
14 /usr, re-create the partition with more inodes, and copy the stuff back.
15
16 If you do not want to do so, you could move things to your home partition.
17 I'd move /usr/portage first (and change the location in make.conf), that
18 has many small files eating up many inodes. And if space is still getting
19 small, just move other things like/usr/src, and set a symlink so /usr/src
20 is still a valid path.

22 Oh, and please:
23 - Do not hijack threads.
24 - Do not quote stuff that has absolutely no relevance, like the
25 original posting you replied to, instead of starting a new one.
