Are you using metatiles? tile.osm.org (yevaud) do not separately store
individual tiles on the filesystem.
You cannot increase the number of available inodes on an existing
filesystem. An ugly hack would be to create a suitable sized loopback
filesystem and specify type "news" when creating fs. eg: "mkfs.ext4 -T
news"
