Tuning maxusers on Solaris is a bad idea, not sure about Linux. It's an ancient
tunable whose meaning has long since ceased to control the max number of
interactive users and it serves more as a master control knob for sizing the
whole system. The impact of fiddling with it is potentially large. Much better
to find the more specific tunable for the thing you want to change.

Hi Bob
Thanks for the info but using df -i only lists info of the laptop I'm
using although the remote partition is 'mounted' on the desktop and I
can 'see' the files on it in Nautilus.
The only partitions listed are sda2 (root) & sda6 (home).

From my Solaris admin I remember having to increase the number of
inodes on an expanded filesystem on an EMC array.
/etc/bin/nfstsat
the size of the inode cache can be increased as it is a quota system
tied to the 'maxuser' parameter.
increase the 'maxusers' parameter in the /etc/system file.
By default, it is set to the amount (number) of RAM present.
set maxusers = 1024
increasing this parameter increases the number of available inodes. A
reboot is required.
The system will recompute the size of the inode cache.
Not sure how this translates to Linux, but is worth a search.
bon chance.
btw...jfs2 increases inode allocation on the fly......allegedly.

Tuning the maxusers as a means of increasing the available inodes was
taught by Sun in their 2.x Network Admin course and was included in the
NFS Server Performance and Tuning guide. So as a recommended method, I
regard it as having been safe, useful and effective.
