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. :) -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Lowell Gilbert [SMTP:lowell@world.std.com] > Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 1999 5:15 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: #make problem > > "Alejandro Ramirez" <ales@megared.net.mx> writes: > > > Hi, > > > > You will have to install the ports tree, dont worry about disk > space, it > > will only create a directory structure, with the names of the programs > that > > you can install, and also it will grab the patches for the programs to > work > > well on FreeBSD, and then, you will have to mount your cdroom (the one > with > > the tar files in it) in /usr/ports/distfiles, and then: > > It's still a lot of space (over 40MB), and a heck of a lot of inodes, > so this advice won't work for everyone.
