Would the person who did that please repost it? (SGI marketing, are you listening?) Bob (Wow, same name!) P.S. Has anybody heard about the proposed government inode consortium? I heard that its purpose is to facilitate the development of standards for the inode industry, and lobby for trade barriers against Japanese imported inodes.

In an effort to reduce inode emissions we'll be installing a special inode filter on /dev/null. Watch for this in cypress. Coupled with a company wide collection effort we should be able to recycle 37% of our used inodes.

I think you can get some government surplus inodes for cheap. Of course you have to make sure that you ask for "plain file" inodes or else some sleazy salesman might try to pawn off some of those "directory" inodes on you. I also seem to recall an anonymous ftp site from which you could get some Public Domain inodes. You should probably call SGI if your machine is still pretty new, they may not have shipped you all the inodes which you ordered. Don't try installing these things yourself, you better get a trained professional to help you out. Hope this helps.. ;-) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Facca | fsfacca@avelon.lerc.nasa.gov | phone: 216-433-8318 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are at Witt's end.

I've got some free inodes here... can you get them via anonymous ftp, or should I send them to a net archive somwhere. Ian (Wow, different name) -- Ian D.
