out of inodes

[Andrzej Pindor]

Sometimes, when I reboot my machine (Sun3, SunOS 4.0.3) I get a message
'out of inodes'. 'df -i' shows that there are plenty of inodes free.
What does this message mean then? From time to time the system crushes for
no obvious reasons. Could this be related to the problem with inodes?
Thanks in advance for any insight into the problem.
