i-nodes

In UNIX, an inode represents the information
stored by the OS for an individual file for the
UNIX file system (remember, a file can represent
a device as well). Typically, the maximum
number of inodes is fixed at file system
creation time. If you find you are running
out of inodes often, you may have to adjust
the system tunable parameter and rebuild your
kernel. Normally, this value is set to 3 or
4 times the maximum number of files allowed
for a file system (since stdin, stdout, stderr
and sockets require inodes as well). Under normal
circumstances, you should not run out of inodes
before you run out of file space (or max_files).
This can happen if you are creating a LARGE
number of very small files.
I hope this helps

getnode
getnode(8) System Manager's Manual getnode(8) Name getnode - display one or more entries from the nodes database Syntax /etc/getnode [ node... ] Description For each given node argument, displays the corresponding node entry (or entries) from the nodes database. The nodes database is the one used by DECnet. If you do not specify any node argument(s), all of the entries in the nodes database are displayed. The node is either the node address or the node name for each node entry that you want to display. (Note that you can specify more than one node argument in a single command.) A node address is a decimal integer in the range of 1 to 1023 for single area networks, or has the format a.n for multiarea networks, where a is the network area number (a decimal integer in the range of 2 to 63) and n is the node number (a decimal integer in the range of 1 to 1023). A node name can be from 1 to 6 alphanumeric characters, including at least 1 alphabetic character. Examples # /etc/getnode 44.70 mynode <RET> This command displays the entries in the nodes database for nodes 44.70 and mynode. # /etc/getnode <RET> This command displays all of the entries in the nodes database. # /etc/getnode lttwi <RET> This command displays the entry in the nodes database for node lttwi.
