I learned from responses to a previous posting that my news partition had too few inodes. I was maxing out on inodes before the partition was full. Sooo, I tried making a new file system. It turns out, in Ultrix 3.0, that mkfs(8) will not go below 2048 bytes/inode. (Recall that the number of inodes is specified in Ultrix as the number of data bytes per inode, so smaller numbers means more inodes). If I say 4096 bytes per inode, I get, say, 10000. If I say 2048 bytes per inode, I get 12288. If I say 1024 bytes per inode, I *still* get 12288. Am I stuck with this? It's about a 40Mbyte partition. -- Jeffrey W Percival (jwp@larry.sal.wisc.edu) (608)262-8686

There was some fairly extensive discussion about this a couple of months ago. If nobody pulls out the right answers, I'll grep it out and post something tonite... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)
