    There is no limit to the number of inodes (and thus, files and
    directories) in a VxFS filesystem.
    It is limited only by the amount of diskspace. The inode number is a
    32bit integer so the maximum
    value is billions. (Thanks Bill , I saw your posting on itrc also which
    was very useful)
     
    Thanks to all who had replied.

            Hi,
             
            query regarding the inode value of a directory.
             
            We have a directory in production machine number of files are
    increasing and hence the inode value increases. However after a limit
    the number of files will become constant and then inode value will also
    not increase.
             
            We want to know what is the maximum limit for inode count and is
    there any potential danger if the inode value has already reached to a
    limit like 12 million.
             
            Files in this directory are of very small size (less than 100
    bytes) but number of files can increase upto 0.6 million.
             
            Please let us know if there can be a potential issue due to this
    increasing number of inode value
             
            We get the inode value using the command -
            ls -ltr <dir_name>

            [Srini] Thanks
