- Yup, I know. I had a look at the old 3.0 sources to see how the number
- of inodes was calculated. You must admit though, if the manual says you
- can change it using a particular option, it would be nice if it worked.
- Stuffing around with cylinder group sizes doesn't help the person who
- either 1) has no idea what that implies, or 2) doesn't have the sources
- to figure out what's going on.

- Thanks for the response Richard. Maybe you could lean on someone in
- your org that could add the odd line of code to enable the option?

- Oh well, it isn't a perfect world after all .....
