What's the meaning of inode?
Re: What's the meaning of inode?
inodes are basically how the UNIX/Linux's file system stores information about files on disk. Information such as ownership, permissions, and file type (but not the name) is stored in the inode. Your check is telling you that the disk is 60% full, but you are running out of your total allowed inodes. Here's a relevant StackOverflow post that explains it a bit better:

Thanks you! and what's de meaning the inode=98%/
Re: What's the meaning of inode?
That means you only have 2% remaining available inodes. Once those run out, you will have problems creating new files.
