[comp.unix.admin] FREE INODE console message.

Hi,

I upgraded from SunOS 4.0.3 to 4.1 on a SUN 3/60 a couple of weeks ago, 
and at the same time added another external hard drive.  Since then, I 
occasionally get a message on the console screen stating something like:

Feb 8 11:38:24 ottsun1 vmunix: free inode /usr/local/41022 had 44 blocks
Feb 8 11:38:24 ottsun1 vmunix: free inode /usr/local/41023 had 70 blocks

This occurs when I am doing very intensive disk I/O on the /usr/local
directory, which is a filesystem all on its own (size = 165 meg).

Does anybody have any idea what this means? I never saw this under 4.0.3.
Is it something to worry about, or is it just an information message.  
BTW, the system is running without error.

Thanks.
