Stan,
the file system has a size of 4GB of which 430 MB are in use - not
excessively big I'd say. With help of a dose of python I have found that
the only inode whose number was > 2 ** 32 was a mount point created by
the automounter. I am currently running a test restore against the
directory in question and will keep you posted if it works.

Cheers
