AT&T has released patches for this problem, it's available from the Hotline.. You shouldn't just bash on them without doing the obvious (calling to see if fixes exist..) I believe their fixes were released in 10/88 .. This takes care of the problem in 3.0, 3.1,and 3.2 "cat /usr/options/inode_fix.name" Fix for out of inodes problem in 3.2 -- 10/10/88 Len
