The number of inodes which a filesystem can have is set when the file
system is created, see mkfs(1M) in TFM.  The max number of inodes you
can have in a filesystem is 65500 (sounds like an unsigned short to me!),
of course those inodes are wasted if you have < 65500 blocks in your
filesystem.  You should set the number of inodes equal to the number
of blocks in filesystems you create.  You will have to backup your /u
filesystem to disk or tape, and use mkfs to recreate the filesystem
with more inodes.
