As with file handles, the kernel allocates the inode structures

dynamically, but can't free them yet.

|

The value in inode-max denotes the maximum number of inode
|
||||
handlers. This value should be 3-4 times larger than the value
|
||||
in file-max, since stdin, stdout and network sockets also
|
||||
need an inode struct to handle them. When you regularly run
|
||||
out of inodes, you need to increase this value.

The file inode-nr contains the first two items from

inode-state, so we'll skip to that file...
