Hi,

unfortunately  df --inodes  doesn't work for a FAT32 partition.

$ df --human-readable --inodes /mnt/S3FAT32/
Filesystem     Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sdc3           0     0     0     - /mnt/S3FAT32

I know that inodes are a Unix-style file system thing, but it was
conceivable that with FAT32 items in the sense of directories and files
are regarded as inodes. But no, it's not like that.

Regards,
Ralf
