Make sure you check "df -i" before rebuilding any file systems.  The
messages "Out of Inodes" and "File table full" on the console without
filesystem qualifier indicate the incode inode table has filled.  The
solution for that is to use sysparam to up the numbers for the system.
Unfortuneately, sometimes I have a feeling that the limits set in sysparam
aren't reached before the console message appears (i.e., something else
is a limitting factor).
