Description:
On our shiny new Sun 4/280, we have three 892 mbyte disks.
Due to limitations in the kernel (specifically, MAXIPG==2048),
a 823 mbyte partition can have at most 119000 inodes, which
comes to about 6.25 kbytes per file.
If your average filesize is less than 6.25 kbytes, you will
run out of inodes before disk space.
Repeat-By:
Run Usenet news on an average size partition.
Run out of inodes.
