What filesystem are you using?
One of the resize tools might be able to help you. It's been 10 years
since I ran into a problem like this so no idea if the modern resize tools
deal with it.
The way I would traditionally deal with this is to backup the relevant
filesystem while the box is in single user mode, shift the data off,
remake the filesystem with _more_ inodes and move the data back - after
making sure my backups were good :)
