I want to use an ext3 Partition (~1TB) for Mail Storage, this means tons of
small files.
Has anyone recommendations about blocksize, inodes, etc. for mkfs.ext3 ?
from a recent mkfs.ext3 manpage:
-T fs-type
Specify how the filesystem is going to be used, so that
mke2fs can choose optimal filesystem parameters for that use.
The filesystem types that are can be supported are defined in the
configuration file /etc/mke2fs.conf(5). The default
configuration file contains definitions for the filesystem types:
small, floppy, news, largefile, and largefile4.
and a /etc/mke2fs.conf on a debian system reveals:
[defaults]
base_features = sparse_super,filetype,resize_inode,dir_index
blocksize = 4096
inode_ratio = 8192
[fs_types]
small = {
blocksize = 1024
inode_ratio = 4096
}
floppy = {
blocksize = 1024
}
news = {
inode_ratio = 4096
}
largefile = {
inode_ratio = 1048576
}
largefile4 = {
inode_ratio = 4194304
}
