The only pertinent portion of this is the Operating system and you don't 
specify the version.  

This inode thing is a known bug that as far as I know was fixed in version
2.0.2 of 386/ix (I have been running news on a partition without running
out of inodes for a year).

There is a binary patch for microport unix that is reputed to work correctly
for 386/ix.  If you want to try it, send me email & I will send it to you.
