problem file system containing more than 1 million files
Hi, thanks in advance
I'd like to create a new file system for dump more than one and half million files.
I can't create an ufs file system but when i begin to restore files in this i found a problem "inode-table overflow".
I've reviewed my backup if i try to restore only less than one million there's no problem.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Make sure you have enough inodes.

I assume you meant you *can* create the filesystem?
What does 'df -o i <filesystem>' show? You may need to up the number of inodes by using the -i option to newfs. The lower the number you supply, the more inodes you create.
How big is the filesystem in capacity?

Insufficient inodes in your target filesystem seems likely to me.
