Re: Inode limit

The number of inodes is dependent on the size of the file system and the nbpi

Inside every directory, you can create entry points (new files or
sub-directories).
What is the effective limit number for these entry points :
- 32768 (means address on 16 bits and would be fixed)
- or a general system tunable parameter that I don't know
- or the inode table of the current file system (depends on the FS size
and nbpi parameter)

In the slightly less intrusive Arla view of the world, cache files do appear in the UFS name space, but an independent namespace is maintained by the cache manager, each with two file system names: a normal path, and its NFS file handle, which can be used to open, stat, etc, the file without a normal file system namespace operation. ...
