as stated, a bunch of small files. you could have giga bytes
of space left, but you have to have inodes to use it.

so, what do you have in small files?

do you
1)  clean cache in your internet browser?
2)  have a lot of files in your '~/.thumbnails/*'?
3)  empty your /tmp lately?
4)  clean '~/.local/share/Trash/'?
5)  clean '~/.kde/cache-host.name/'?
6)  clean '/var/tmp/*'?
7)  clean up with 'yum clean [options]'?
8)  duplicate files?

if you go thru above, you would be surprised just how many
inodes you will free up.
