How many inodes available?

[James Deibele]

I'm looking to add a larger hard drive to store more news.  The problem
that I had before was using one partition to store news, which meant that
I ran into the inode-limit (approximately 64000) fairly quickly.  I've 
been led to believe that this is a System V-ism.  Is this true, or is there
a System V for the 386 that allows an unlimited (or at least larger) number
of i-nodes?
