Hi!

I don't know if the mystery has been solved yet, since I didn't follow the
whole thread, but...

DeepThought ~ # man df
[...]
-i, --inodes
List inode usage information instead of block
usage. An inode (short for index node) contains
information about a file such as its owner, permis-
sions, timestamps, and location on the disk.
[...]

:-)

Regards,
Gert
