[comp.unix.questions] inode limit in SCO/Unix.

phil@shl.uucp (Phil Trubey) (10/30/90)

We are running news on an SCO Unix machine.  The news spool partition
is a large area of about 800MB.  Unfortunately, long before the disk
fills up, the filesystem runs out of inodes.  

A quick look at mkfs(ADM) informs me that the maximum # of inodes that
it can make is 65500.

Is there a way around this limit, short of splitting up the disk into
4 smaller partitions?

Thanks.

Split the disk with divvy in 6 smaller partions.
