I am not sure, but I suspect that a lot of small files could cause 
this. You would have to back up the file system, and reformat it 
with less bytes-pre-inode.

 From the mke2fs man page:

Be warned that is not possible to expand the number of inodes on a 
filesystem after it is created, so be careful deciding the correct 
value for this parameter.
