From: Alexey Lyashkov <alexey.lyashkov@xxxxxxxxx> Sometimes during system deployment customers are faced with system formating problem for given inodes/bytes rate. User need to recalucate this rate and start formating again. This patch adds code that limit inodes count instead of error return, to use all inodes in the filesystem.
