nginx failed (28: No space left on device)-error-fixed

error:

 7086#7086: *74580 open() "/var/lib/nginx/proxy/4/22/0000007224" failed (28: No space left on device) while reading upstream,

but the disk space the linux have a lot free: df -h

udev            2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev

tmpfs           393M     0  393M   0% /run/user/0

so disk space not the problem. but let’s check indoes : df -i

tmpfs             502501       5    502496    1% /run/user/0

that’s the reason:

just clear the the indoes under path / , like delete file in /
