You seem to have hit the system-wide inode maximum... I don't know why :)

To see how many you have used, do this:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/inode-nr

To check what your system-wide limit is:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max

If inode-nr == inode-max, then this is indeed your problem.

To increase your system-wide maximum:

echo "32768" > /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max

(You will have to add this to your rc files if you want it to work across
reboots - this doesn't write anything to your kernel)

Note that 32768 is probably waay to much...
