running out of inodes

[Ken McVay]

My /u filesystem is running out of inodes with 65% storage space utilized.
How can I increase available inodes, and can I do so without reformatting 
the drive? I have set inodes avail. to 350, and still get these results:


Mount Dir   Filesystem  iused	ifree	%iused
/           /dev/root 	 2474	 6230	   28%
/u          /dev/u    	17144	  184	   99%

Mount Dir   Filesystem  blocks	  used	  free	% used
/           /dev/root    69714	 64328	  5386	   92%
/u          /dev/u      138718	 88420	 50298	   64%

The /u filesystem (news, Waffle) is a 72-meg drive. I've run it for news
for 15 months without this problem, but it is now a pain in the u-no-what.

What can I do to utilize the available storage space without fouling up
the kernel's control over the filesystem? With 30 megs or thereabouts being
wasted, something's gone bump in serious fashion :-)
