mkfs problem

[Brian H. Powell]

     First of all, I'm on a Sun 3/160 with SunOS 3.2.

     I'm having trouble getting the bytes/inode parameter to newfs/mkfs work
like I want it to.  Normally, it uses 2048 bytes/inode.  I want four
times that many, so I want 512 bytes/inode.
     On the Sun, we've got a newfs program, which I'm not sure is standard.
Below that, there's the equivalent mkfs call.
     The trouble is, I'm not getting as many inodes as I want.

natinst# /etc/newfs -n -v -i 512 /dev/rxl0e
/etc/mkfs /dev/rxl0e 390744 67 27 8192 1024 16 10 60 512 t 0
/dev/rxl0e:     390744 sectors in 216 cylinders of 27 tracks, 67 sectors
        200.1Mb in 14 cyl groups (16 c/g, 14.82Mb/g, 2048 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b#) at:
 32, 29056, 58080, 87104, 116128, 145152, 174176, 203200, 232224, 261248,
 290272, 319296, 348320, 377344,

natinst# /etc/mount /var

     and df /var and df -i /var show:

Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/xl0e             191547       9  172383     0%    /var

Filesystem             iused   ifree  %iused  Mounted on
/dev/xl0e                  4   28668     0%   /var

     To have 512 bytes/inode, I'd have to have about 95000 inodes on that
partition.  I'm only getting 30% of that.

     Is there some other parameter that I have to tweak to get it to work?
What's going on?
     Thanks in advance.
