inode usage / file



Hi,
I have a 1.4 TB Volume exported over NFS, accessed from a Linux
NFS(v3) client. I have to fill all indoes on this volume. One way of
doing it is to create so many files which is time consuming . One more
option to use is Snapmirror/Replication technologies to create this
Data set. Anything else more efficient than either of this ?
Can there be more than one inode per file ? I mean if I create a file
of 100gb for example, will it utilize only one inode or inode +
indirect inodes = total inode count ? And How to see per file inode
usage on linux ?

Please note I am talking about Netapp Wafl FS here.

I am trying my best to find out the answers, if anybody can help cut
short the time, will be great full.

thanks
Parinay
