df -i : to check the usage of inode space and if it is showing 100% used like this
root@server [~]# df -i
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_server-lv_root 15073280 15073280 0 100% /
tmpfs 4096118 1 4096117 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1 128016 53 127963 1% /boot
/dev/sda1 61054976 2526190 58528786 5% /home
/usr/tmpDSK 262144 45283 216861 18% /tmp
Step 2
then run the following commands
cd /var/spool;rm -rf exim
to delete the exim file and that should resolve the problem . You can then re-run the command df -i again to see if there are still spaces there.
