I think you can get some government surplus inodes for cheap.  Of course you
have to make sure that you ask for "plain file" inodes or else some sleazy
salesman might try to pawn off some of those "directory" inodes on you.

I also seem to recall an anonymous ftp site from which you could get some
Public Domain inodes.  You should probably call SGI if your machine is still
pretty new, they may not have shipped you all the inodes which you ordered.
Don't try installing these things yourself, you better get a trained 
professional to help you out.

Hope this helps..  ;-)
