I'd like to post a brief thank you to all those who helped me with my
problem on creating more inodes than the default under SunOS. I have
replied personally to all those whose mail I received, so I will only
briefly summarize the answers, rather than give individual thanks here.

The problem is that 2048 inodes per cylinder group is the maximum allowed.
The solution in my case was to use smaller blocksizes (4096) so I could
get 8 cylinders per cylinder group, thus doubling the number of inodes
permitted.

Again, thanks to all who answered my plea.
Ian.
