    Hello,

    There is a need for a customer application to create about 350,000
    files per day, which adds up to 109 million files per year. Avg size
    per file is 10 KB, this results to about 1.1 TB disk space. This is
    being designed to run on Solaris 8.

    Here is what I need to find out :
    What are the limits on #of files in a single directory and limits on
    space on Solaris 8.

    Since the number of files that can be created depends on the number of
    inodes, What is the max inode limit for Solaris 8?

    I searched through the docs and here is what I've found:
    to increase the number of inodes, I need to create a new filesystem
    and to have all
    inodes allocated to that filesystem. For example, in this case, there
    is a filesystem of size 140GB so the nbpi is
    140000000/109000000=1.28bytes

    Is this correct? Please advise.

    Thanks,
    Ramin Moazeni
