Mutiterabyte file system
I have 3511 populated with 400 gb HDD. Now i have created 2.9 TB filesystem. the filesystem shows full with 500 gb of data. I found that the inodes are full. So please suggest me a way so that i can get full access of the file system 2.9tb and i want it as a single filesystem. So what options i have to use in newfs command
if it is d10 metadevice can i put inodes (-i 32768 ) for a mutiterabyte file system . wheather it will work I have 4 gb memory in my server

Unfortunately theres no simple answer to this question.
Unfortunately with the -T option to newfs to make it support terabyte filesystems, ufs doesnt support very many inodes (as you found). I think maximum number of inodes supported with -T is one inode per megabyte of space.
Without -T the default is one per 4k of space.
So, your options are either don't use the -T option. Whuch sun doesnt recommend for terabytes sizes, but I've never seen anything specific on what will break.
I think it just takes an unmanagable amount of time do fsck if anything does wrong.
But with journalling, having to fsck is pretty rare.
Or your other option is to use a different filesystem like ZFS or vxfs.
If your going to go UFS without -T you should probably tweak the number of inodes to have less than the default, but more that you get with -T.
