You can either increase the size of file system using growfs or you can take the backup up the file system and then use the followign command:-
`newfs -i <nbpi> <other newfs parameters> to recreate the filesystem
"nbpi" is a confusing term but the smaller the number the more inodes in the filesystem.

That makes making a map somewhat troublesome since the 0,0 will move.

yesterday I had a big problem on Solaris 9. I cannot write anymore on /var. I checked the inode usage, and I see that for /var was at 100% with ifree = 0.
I deleted some unused files (like old log on /var/tmp and /var/log), now I have ifree=19641 and 99% iused:

While going through the old SUN docs, it occured to me that the run level initiating scripts /sbin/rc0,rc5 and rc6 have the same inode number.

MKFS(8) System Manager's Manual MKFS(8)
NAME
mkfs - construct a file system
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/mkfs [ -i bytes ] [ -s size ] [ -m gap ] [ -n modulus ] special
DESCRIPTION
N.B.: file systems are normally created with the newfs(8) command.
Mkfs constructs a file system by writing on the special file special. The size of the filesystem in logical blocks is specified by the -s
size option. Logical blocks are 1K (2 sectors) under 2.11BSD.
NOTE: The newfs(8) program's -s option is in units of sectors. Newfs(8) converts this to filesystem (logical) blocks for mkfs(8).
The number of inodes is calculated based on the argument bytes to the -i option. The default is 4096. If more inodes are desired in a
filesystem (there is an absolute maximum of 65500) then a lower value for bytes should be used, perhaps 3072 or even 2048.
The flags -m gap and -n modulus determine the block interleaving of the freelist that will be constructed, where gap is the distance
between successive 1024-byte blocks, and modulus is the number of blocks before the pattern repeats, typically one cylinder. The optimal
values for these parameters vary with the speed and geometry of the disk, as well as the speed of the processor. Newfs(8) will calculate
the correct values in almost all cases from the disklabel.

fs(5), dir(5), disklabel(8), fsck(8), mkproto(8) newfs(8)
BUGS
The lost+found directory is created but the boot block is left uninitialized (see disklabel(8).)
