When attempting to build a custom kernel, I ran into
the following error message:

/usr: create/symlink failed, no inodes free
Assembler messages:
FATAL: can't create buffer.o: No space left on device
*** Error code 2

When I use 'df', I noticed something strange:

[13:29:20][root@usha:/]$ df -h

How can I be out of inodes for my 800MB /usr
partition?  I didn't modify anything from the standard
minimal installation and only installed the ports
tree, CVSUP, and /src/sys afterwards.
