Running out of inodes on a docker volume

Question

I have the following docker-compos.yml file:

 web:
   build: .
   ports:
     - "4200:4200"
     - "35729:35729"
   volumes:
     - ..:/code
     - ../home:/home/dev

which maps the 2 volumes above. When I login into my VM and run df -i i see

Filesystem      Inodes  IUsed  IFree IUse% Mounted on
none           1218224 509534 708690   42% /
tmpfs           256337     18 256319    1% /dev
shm             256337      1 256336    1% /dev/shm

none              1000      0   1000    0% /code
none              1000      0   1000    0% /home/dev
/dev/sda1      1218224 509534 708690   42% /etc/resolv.conf
/dev/sda1      1218224 509534 708690   42% /etc/hostname
/dev/sda1      1218224 509534 708690   42% /etc/hosts
tmpfs           256337     18 256319    1% /proc/kcore
tmpfs           256337     18 256319    1% /proc/timer_stats

As you can /code and /home/dev my 2 volumes only have 1000 inodes, so when I run my build process and it ends up creating a ton of files, I get an error that I don't have enough inodes.

Host = OSX Guest = CentOs 6.5 Using Virtualbox

My question is: how do I assign more inodes to my data volumes /code and /home/dev above?

I'm looking for a similar solution and so far, I've found this post to have some useful information in it:

• how to free inode usage

Also, according to this post there doesn't seem to be a dynamic way of allocating inodes:

• how can I increase the number of inodes ...

And finally, there is this line in the documentation:

• it is not possible to expand the number of inodes on a filesystem after it is created
