RabbitMQ maxed out the number of files on the filesystem and cannot start

  • 772

Our rabbitmq node just went down and cannot restart. When logging into the server and executing:

df -i

it reveals the following:

Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on udev 503283 360 502923 1% /dev tmpfs 505605 437 505168 1% /run /dev/xvda1 655360 655360 0 100% / tmpfs 505605 1 505604 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 505605 3 505602 1% /run/lock tmpfs 505605 16 505589 1% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 505605 4 505601 1% /run/user/1000

How does one remove the erroneous files so that rabbitmq created so it can be started? As of now, nothing can happen as I receive many No space left on device errors.

Thoughts?

  1. The default data directory for RabbitMQ is /var/lib/rabbitmq. You can delete it and it should free up inodes, but be warned that you will lose all messages and configuration and will basically be starting from scratch.
