Summary
O/S: Ultrix 3.1
Problem: mkfs bug (nbpi)
Detail
Today I was trying to create a file system with a large number
of inodes. This proved impossible because mkfs seemed to ignore
the nbpi parameter. I used "newfs -v" which reported that it
passed nbpi to mkfs as 1024, but mkfs reported that it created
a file system with the default inode density. I confirmed this
by comparing the new file system with one created using the
default parameters.
Has anyone else seen this bug? Is there any way to get around
it? Has it been reported to DEC?
