Some replies came in before I even saw my message. Best reply was from Don Speck <mangler@csvax.caltech.edu>: There's a limit of 2048 inodes per cylinder group. You're probably using a disk with big cylinders. Try "-c 8". Also consider reducing the fragment size to 512 bytes if you're going to have so many tiny files. Thanks also to maria a barnum <barnum@grumpy.crd.ge.com>. Summary: RTFM, where RTFM is the paper on the 4.2BSD filesystem.
