"inode: table is full" - a question

[Chris Torek]

[It is clear from your message that this is a 4.2BSD system.]

Reconfigure and recompile the kernel with a bigger MAXUSERS, or
change the value of `ninode' in the existing kernel and/or the
definition of NINODE in conf/param.c.  If you just need more inode
table space and are happy with your current MAXUSERS, the following
will fix things up:

	% su
	<password>
	# adb -w /vmunix
	ninode?D
	<will print something like `_ninode: 356'>
	ninode?W 0t<new, larger number, eg 512>
	<will print something like `_ninode: 164 = 200'>
	<type control-D here>
	# shutdown <parameters>
	<eventually, it shuts down>
	# fastboot

Read the documentation on `configuring a 4.2BSD system'; it explains
all this stuff somewhere (I think).
