   For the sake of argument, what determines the number of inodes that a
   filesystem has?  Because I have about 12GB on a 20GB filesystem and maybe 4%
   of my inodes are used.  Given this experience it's hard for me to picture
   someone running out of inodes.  :)

The -i option to newfs.

Again, it comes back to being efficient with disk space.  Most people,
like yourself (and, for that matter, myself), have enough space that
throwing away a few megabytes is no big deal.  However, it is quite
important to be *able* to avoid the wastage.
