The man number of inodes that a filesystem can have is set when the filesystem is created using the mkfs command. The same can be done by using the '-o ninode=0' in the command or skipping mention of ninode altogether. From the man page of mkfs_vxfs,
Quote:
ninode=n
n is the maximum number of inodes in the file system. The actual maximum number of inodes is n rounded up to an appropriate boundary. The digit 0 and the string unlimited both mean that the number of inodes is unlimited.
The default is unlimited.

mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [-N nr-of-inodes] [-V volume-name] [-F fsname] device [size-in-blocks]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs file-system on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).
The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be
used.
OPTIONS
-N Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified some default number in the range 48-512 is picked
depending on the size of the partition.
-V volume-label
Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.
-F fsname
Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used.
-v Be verbose.
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
SEE ALSO
mkfs(8).
AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
