Inodes are a property of the filesystem, not the disk or the metadevice.

UFS sets a fixed percentage of the disk to be inodes at the time it is
created.  The only way to add more inodes to a UFS filesystem is to
either destroy it and create a new one with a higher inode density (with
the -i flag in newfs), or to enlarge the filesystem (if you increase
capacity by 25%, you'll get about 25% more inodes as well).

You can use 'df -o i <filesystem>' to view the inode status for a UFS
filesystem.
