    Benefits of the solution:
    Avoid mount failure when there are more than 8192 inode spaces.
    
    Work Around:
    None
    
    Problem trigger:
    The sanity check for the number of inode spaces created in a
    file systemwas using the plain maxInodeSpaces configured in the
    file system. It is wrong becauseinternally, with the use of
    inodeSpaceMask, the maximum number of inode spacesin a file
    system should be the next power of 2 number of maxInodeSpaces.
    
    Symptom:
    Unable to mount the file system.
    
    Platforms affected:
    ALL Operating System environments
    
    Functional Area affected:
    filesets
