It depends on the number of inodes that were built when the file system was created. That depends on the values on the newfs(8) command. Check out the -i and -g parameters on newfs, for example. The number of files is very very large in the default case and can be made much larger. the df(1) command can give you information on the number of inodes that were built on the file system and how many are still available. Check out the -i flag on the df command. ////jerry > > Best regard & TIA > > ---------------------------------------- > I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. > It has removed 117 spam emails to date. > Paying users do not have this message in their emails. > Try www.SPAMfighter.com for free now! > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
