[Please forgive me if you end up seeing this twice I tried cross-posting this but it didn't seem to work.] I'm running AIX 2.2.1 on an RT. I'd like to create a filesystem with a large number of inodes (can you say news :-). The manual says: # mkfs device blocks:inodes This works fine until the number of inodes > 32000. Mkfs will only allow me to create a filesystem with AT MOST 32000 nodes (even if I specify more). /usr/include/sys/types.h tells me : typedef unsigned short ushort; typedef ushort ino_t; So I should be able to create a filesystem with 2^16-1 inodes except mkfs won't let me ! Argh. Has anyone figured out a way around this one :-( tim Tim Brecht tim@tse.uucp Toronto Stock Exchange uunet!geac!tse!tim Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
