The INfamous inode bug

[Petri Helenius]

  The "in"famous inode-bug causes the OS to "lose" (ie. your inode count
decreases without inodes being allocated) inodes at rather heavy inode
deallocation/allocation circumstances. Specially this will pop up when
processing USENET news. Sooner or later you'll be biten with this problem.
The cure is to umount, fsck and mount the filesystem again.
