Is there any way of increasing the number of inodes for a file system
without increasing the size? I have a 16Mb tmp filesystem with 4100 inodes.
When our news feed arrives (Full feed via Telebit), it comes in faster than
it unbatches. The console reports "Out of inodes", and news reports "File
table full" and "Permission problems in directory /tmp". Rather than
increase the size of tmp (which is fine for our purposes), or use another
tmp directory elsewhere (requiring recompilation of news sources, which
people down the road may not be aware of), I would like to just increase the
number of inodes. Can it be done?
