- Now I am a bit confused. My understanding of a normal unix file system is
- that the i-nodes are basically used to maintain file location information
- and that each file, no matter how small, requires an i-node. Obviously
- this can't be the case here because everyone should easily have more than
- 256 files in the file system. Is the file system here not a ufs file
- system?
