Trying to install OSOL 134 via AI (stock AI CD) image on a T5440, I get: Configuring devices. NOTICE: /: out of inodes
devfsadm: symlink failed for /dev/rdsk/c8t39d0s1 -> ../../devices/pci at 700/pci at 0/pci at 9/LSILogic,sas at 0/sd at 27,0:b,raw: No space left on device NOTICE: /: out of inodes devfsadm: symlink failed for /dev/rdsk/c8t39d0s2 -> ../../devices/pci at 700/pci at 0/pci at 9/LSILogic,sas at 0/sd at 27,0:c,raw: No space left on device NOTICE: /: out of inodes devfsadm: symlink failed for /dev/rdsk/c8t39d0s3 -> ../../devices/pci at 700/pci at 0/pci at 9/LSILogic,sas at 0/sd at 27,0:d,raw: No space left on device NOTICE: /: out of inodes <much more same messages deleted> And sure enough, taking a look, / is out of inodes: root at opensolaris:~# df / / (/devices/ramdisk-root:a): 70368 blocks 0 files format finds 232 disks on the system. Is there some software work around for this? A hardware one would be to disconnect some of the J4500 connected to the system, but that is hardly ideal. As a quick estimate, it would seem that 32 inodes are needed for each disk (8 for each raw/non raw in /devices for the slices, 16 more for the symlinks). booting another system with only 2 disk, I see: / (/devices/ramdisk-root:a): 80574 blocks 4010 files 4010 / 32 = ~125 So it would seem that current not possible to use AI installer on system with more than 128 disks or so. Is this an intentional limit?
