ZFS uses 'dnodes'. The dnodes are allocated on demand from your
available space so running out of [di]nodes is impossible.
Great to see that Sun ships a state-of-the-art Filesystem with
Solaris... I think linux should do the same...
This would be worthwhile, if only to be able to futz around in
Solaris-made
filesystems.
Are you volunteering? You'd probably need a friend in Solaris-land who
passes you information on how things are done, and copies of
filessytems to
take apart, and so on.
First question is if there are any restrictions (patent or
otherwise) on
doing this, just copying is out of the question due to (unfortunate)
licence on Sun's part.
This may eventually be good enough for "futzing around":
