Is there any other way to find out how many inode (total) there are
in a filesystem than reading the superblock and then do:

    number of cylinder groups * number of inodes per group

I run SunOS 3.2 (BSD type) on a Sun3.

I'm trying to estimate how large a dump(8) will be, before I run it
and dump(8) will write 2 bitmaps of indodes.

Thanks in advance.

Kjell E.
