Php:7.4-fpm-alpine inodes overflow

Docker Hub
1

Hello,

I’ve been developing in a php:7.4-fpm-alpine pod fine until last week, where without any modifications or installations, I’m just having a weird behavior with filesystem.

As you can see, the node limits are bounded to just 999 inodes and this is pretty overloaded than 100%, I’ve tried everything but I can’t manage to fix it.

This is a volume binded to a local Windows 10 directory, in a ubuntu linux POD.

I’d appreciate any help on this matter.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn’t mount data folder from Windows host to Docker Desktop. Windows has different filesystem so there is more change for something to be wrong. I tried to mount a folder from my windows host and I could see the same inode limit but the filesystem was not C:\folder but drvfs. It is a filesystem which allows us to set linux permissions on a Windows system. It is good for scripts but I am not sure it was created for large amount of files.

When I am on Windows I always create my projects inside WSL2 on a Linux (ext4) filesystem and open the project being on the Linux filesystem from Windows through the 9p mount. It is available on Windows 10 and improved on Windows 11 and Windows 10 insider. You can actually browse the WSL2 systems from Windows. The Docker desktop filesystem is also available.

The other option is creating the project on the Linux filesystem and working with Visual Studio Code remote mode.

Hello,

Thank you very much, it really helps me to know that this is a general system issue and not my local system issue, so I stop trying it.

Unfortunately, none of the three options fits my requirements, so I’m obliged to move to Linux where we don’t have such kind of issues.

I’ll give anyways a last try to this Docker filesystem browsing from Windows approach.

Thak you !
