If you "newfs -i 16384 /dev/rsd2a" does that mean that you can store up to
16,384  files and/or directories on the device when it's used as a block
device? I understand that inode is a number that points to an information
block in the inode table that gives info about a particular file. So I am
assuming that you don't need to specify any inodes if your going to dump a
file structure to a raw disk device for backup purposes. Am I right in
stating this?
