I have created staging sites multiple times to troubleshoot an issue I’m having. Then when my troubleshooting breaks my staging site, I remove it and recreate it. I had to remove my staging site yesterday, but cannot re-create it now. It’ll get up to 95% and then won’t finish. I’ve given it plenty of time to finish. I even tried to let the process run all last night. Any idea what might be stopping it from completing the setup? ---

Do you have an error message, or are you just expecting us to pull the solution out of thin air? What exactly are you trying to do, what have you done to try and solve it, and what error messages (if any) are you getting? ---

I was hoping someone else ran into this issue. **What exactly are you trying to do?** - In the Softaculous installer it gives an option to create a staging site for your domain. I’m creating a staging site **what have you done to try and solve it?** - I have no idea what I can do to solve it. I’ve tried at different times of the day when I thought there’d be less trafic on InfinityFree. I figured it was a hosting issue, so I posted this under Hosting Support. **what error messages (if any) are you getting?** - There’s no error. It just goes to 95% and then doesn’t finish. ---

I checked your account and I see your account is already at 87% of it’s inode usage. If that limit is hit, you will not be able to create or upload any additional files. Please understand that the Staging Site feature in Softaculous copies the entire website, which drastically increases inode usage. Copying another site at this point likely will not fit due to this limit. > [@What does the inode limit mean](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/what-does-the-inode-limit-mean/49331/2): > > Some premium plans may have a inode limit, if iFastNet decides to limit you, as stated in their ToS. ---
