inodes in NetApp

inodes is similar to number of files a volume can hold.

Data structures that contain information about files in Unix file systems that are created when a file system is created. Each file has an inode and is identified by an inode number (i-number) in the file system where it resides. inodes provide important information on files such as user and group ownership, access mode (read, write, execute permissions) and type.

There are a set number of inodes, which indicates the maximum number of files the system can hold.
The way to check inodes in 7-mode is to use df -i

filer>  df -i <vol_name>
