Hello all,
 Sorry for the late summary, I get most of my reply within 24 hours,
but was very busy for the past week. you guys are great, and thanks a
lot.

  The solution is backup all data (ufsdump to tape), run newfs
with option -i, and then restore back all data. And all the inode
problem solved, thanks a lot guys.

special thanks to :
