An [Inode] specifies which [DiskCluster]s a file occupies as well as a few attributes such as creation and last-modification times. To that end it contains a list of direct, indirect, and doubly and triply indirect pointers. On some FileSystems, very small files can be stored directly in the [Inode] itself. Sophisticated FileSystems create [Inode]s on demand, but with most, the number of [Inode]s on a partition has to be decided on during FileSystem creation. It is rare to run out of [Inode]s unless you have an unusual usage profile such as storing a news spool or [Squid] cache. To see how many [Inode]s are free, use __df -i__.
