 No, same problem, I've tried that a few weeks ago, but if my memory is 
 good, specifying the density of the inodes was required to have enough 
 inodes, with the exact option you are mentioning directly below (this 
 man was, if it wasn't the guide, where I found the information 
 concerning that inode density).
