I have a an OS 9 HFS+ and 2 UFS on one disk, and an OS X HFS+ on my other disk, here is the pertinent info: Filesystem Capacity Iused Format Mounted on /dev/disk0s9 5% 5% HFS+ / /dev/disk1s9 15% 15% HFS+ /Volumes/Mac OS 9.2.1 /dev/disk1s10 7% 0% UFS /Volumes/UNIX_ROOT /dev/disk1s11 3% 0% UFS /Volumes/UNIX_HOMES I don't see how you could run out of Inodes on a UFS disk, since the actual counts on mine are: IUsed IFree 35729 4075117 10703 4108079 For the unix partitions Maybe you should try this: 1. Reboot the computer and immediately hold down Cmd-Opt-S 2. Type fsck -y and press enter 3. Wait until done 4. Repeat steps 2-3 until no more problems show up ( I have seen some cases with errors so serious that one round didn't get them all ) 5. Type reboot and your inode problem should be fixed IMHO, Kyle Moffett _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
