If you have to use a filesystem with a fixed number of inodes set at creation time, like ext4 for instance, then construct a "news" filesystem. In general, passing the "news" flag will give you 4 times as many inodes, in the assumption that you are going to have a huge number of small files. Otherwise, go with xfs or btrfs or something where the inodes are dynamically constructed as-needed. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
