$ df -i -m /dev/hda4 Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/hda4 25640960 1163443 24477517 5% /data/01 The # of inodes also is a function of how big the disk is. On my 200GB ext3 partition /dev/hda4, 1+ million files only uses 5% of the nodes. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
