I am using a NetGear ReadyNAS machine as a NAS for our server. The server is a linux CentOS 6.6. The server is run using Rocks cluster, with all our users' home directories located on the NAS. My understanding is that the home directories are automounted to /home when a user logs on.
Recently we have been facing the infamous, intermittent 'no space left on device' while our drive is nowhere near full. It is not a case of full virtual memory either. Yet, the issue usually gets resolved (temporarily) after deleting or compressing some files. I'd like to check if my inodes are full but for some reason the share where our user directories are located does not report inodes information and shows only 0's. Could someone please explain why this is the case, and how I can check the inodes on this share of my NAS?
The NAS is a nfs file system in a RAID 10 configuration, while my linux cluster uses ext4. Below is output of df -h performed on our master node:

and df -i:

nas-0-1:/nas/nas-home/user2

Now if i ssh into the nas itself and repeat, here is the output of df -h performed on the nas:

and df -i performed on the nas:

The share on my nas in question is /nas, why is it shown to contain 0 inodes?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. This problem has been driving me nuts and hindering our work.
