Powell) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions Subject: mkfs problem Keywords: not enough inodes Message-ID: <699@natinst.UUCP> Date: 8 Jul 88 15:48:58 GMT Organization: National Instruments, Austin, TX Lines: 38 First of all, I'm on a Sun 3/160 with SunOS 3.2. I'm having trouble getting the bytes/inode parameter to newfs/mkfs work like I want it to. Normally, it uses 2048 bytes/inode. I want four times that many, so I want 512 bytes/inode. On the Sun, we've got a newfs program, which I'm not sure is standard. Below that, there's the equivalent mkfs call. The trouble is, I'm not getting as many inodes as I want. natinst# /etc/newfs -n -v -i 512 /dev/rxl0e /etc/mkfs /dev/rxl0e 390744 67 27 8192 1024 16 10 60 512 t 0 /dev/rxl0e: 390744 sectors in 216 cylinders of 27 tracks, 67 sectors 200.1Mb in 14 cyl groups (16 c/g, 14.82Mb/g, 2048 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b#) at: 32, 29056, 58080, 87104, 116128, 145152, 174176, 203200, 232224, 261248, 290272, 319296, 348320, 377344, natinst# /etc/mount /var and df /var and df -i /var show: Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/xl0e 191547 9 172383 0% /var Filesystem iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/xl0e 4 28668 0% /var To have 512 bytes/inode, I'd have to have about 95000 inodes on that partition. I'm only getting 30% of that. Is there some other parameter that I have to tweak to get it to work? What's going on? Thanks in advance. Brian H.
