[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] How to get more then 32000 Inodes!

rcsh@yamnet.UUCP (The Remittance Man @ Delphi Information Systems) (07/04/89)

Recently I needed to also create a filesystem with more than 32000 
Inodes and finally fell upon a method, by using a proto file you can get
up 65,535 Inodes.

Sample method....

echo "/dev/null 597332 65022" >proto_file
rm /tmp/*
proto /tmp >>proto_file
mkfs /dev/hd7 protofile

mount /dev/hd7 /w

df | grep hd7

/dev/hd7           /w                597332   597328    0%     65022    0%

( The df output is actaul )
