i recently received inodes violation mail from my hostings., they allowed 250k and i was using 750k+ , i wasnt even hosting large number of files., then i came to know the catch all email account is causing this issue, and when i checked my catchall email inbox., there were like 60k unread emails, i removed those emails and moved my sites to new host’s vps, and now i am good., but idk whether the vps also has the inodes restrictions.,

this is a good article about inodes , previously i was confused, but this post made clear.
cheers.

MikeFL’s suggestion works well for finding inodes used by a single cPanel hosting account. Thanks for posting this information. I put following code in a file named inodes.php and uploaded it to public_html folder.

accessed it like domain.com/inodes.php
It directly shown “Total Inodes : xxxx”

Hi Vivian, thank you and did you see the inodes limit of Hostgator has increased? I must admit I also use MikeFL’s php code suggestion to calculate the number of inodes in my accounts now

MikeFl’s suggestion worked perfectly! Glad I found a solution to it here so I don’t have to ask for ssh access.

I’m at 43,000 inodes. Yikes Not good…

Thanks for all the excellent posts on Hostgator limits, LadyRostand!

well, to post here my solution also:

[code]$inodes = `find /home/username/ -printf "%i\n" | sort -u | wc -l`;
echo $inodes;[/code]

this is useful if you’re trying to make a script that alerts you about the inode limit.

btw, for wordpress users i recomend wordpress+wp-hive plugin (if you have more than one blog hosted), wordpress-mu (if you want a multi-user blog environment) and zen-photo. all of this, with around 6 albums in zenphoto and a huge dokeos install were 9,168 inodes.

How To Count Inodes?

1-) Create a new empty PHP file
2-) Copy the code and edit the username
3-) Save as inodes.php
4-) Upload it to your public_html
5-) Look on the web at yourwebsite.com/inodes.php

PHP CODE:

system(”find /home/username/ -printf ‘%i\n’ | sort -u | wc -l”);

Note: Where username is your cPanel username

I can't post my website link since some (moron) hacked my files... I asked Hostgator for help and was referred to their TOS for inode limits. Apparently, I'm "slightly over". I Googled for Hostgator inodes and found this code which I used and it seems to work. It was posted in the HG forums. It is PHP, so start and end the code accordingly and save it as a PHP file (mine is inodes.php). Here is the line (remember, this is for Hostgator) and put the line between : system("/usr/bin/quota | /bin/awk '{ if ( $5 ~ /^[0-9]/) total+=$5 } END {print \"Total Inodes :\" , total}'");
