 Hardlinks don't consume inodes. It's just directory entries pointing to
 the same inode.

 You seem to have lots of files on /var. Can you find out what they are?
 fontconfig can have lots of cache files, but usually only a few thousand,
 not 140000. My guess would be lots of files in /var/tmp generated by
 rrdtool.
