My /home is out inodes.How do I recreate the same size filesystem with double the amount of inodes?.
 
man newfs says:
-i nbpi
The number of bytes per inode. This specifies
the density of inodes in the file system. The
number is divided into the total size of the
file system to determine the fixed number of
inodes to create. It should reflect the expected
average size of files in the file system. If
fewer inodes are desired, a larger number should
be used; to create more inodes a smaller number
should be given. The default for nbpi is as fol-
lows:.

Disk size Density

-1GB 2048
-2GB 4096
-3GB 6144
3GB- 8192

so i guess it is newfs -i 4096 /dev/rdsk/...
