A user cannot write files to the /home/user directory. The junior Linux administrator runs the following commands: Which of the following BEST represents why the user cannot write files?

The correct answer is A. The filesystem is out of inodes. Look at the output of df -i in the question. The column headings have been cropped out but they Filesystem, Inodes, IUsed, IFree, IUse%, Mounted on So the 4th column of the output shows the number of inodes free... which is 0, therefore the drive has run out of inodes.
