It’s always either /var/log, or my personal favorite some process spamming tiny files running the disk out of inodes.

Oh man, the first time I ever ran into the inodes issue I was still a squirrely, eager young admin and not the broken, cynical shell you see before you. That one fucked me up for a solid day and change.

Mine was "deleting" a LARGE log file at 3am when I was oncall to clear up some disk apace and not getting that space back.

At the time I has no idea why and went into panic mode because the disk was 98% full and growing. Damn software kept the file open and was spamming the same line at least millions of times. After that I spent the tine to learn about common issue, inodes were one of them.
