- Clue: grep MAXIPG /usr/include/ufs/fs.h
-
- Mkfs limits the number of inodes per group this value. I think there's
- a table in one of the file system data strucutres that is affected by
- the limit. The clue help track down the table.
-
- Given the limit, the only way to increase the number of inodes
- per file system is to increase the number of cylinder groups
- in the file system. This is a fairly simple exercise of playing
- with the geometry.
