Hi there Linux and kernel gurus... I was curious about a few things. 1) What is the theoretical and practical max for file-max and inode-max? I'm assuming it is related to either disk capacity or RAM. Also, did inode-max go away at a certain kernel revision? A user wants to set something up with reporting that will eventually generate around 15million files or so. One google/usenet article i found related it to physical memory. If RAM is N N/4*256 = file-max file-max*4 = inode-max Both seem a bit short to me for theoretical max. (not the file-max*4=inode-max part but the N/4*256=file-max part) 2) is there a reason inode-max doesn't exist anymore? 3) How do the below numbers relate for file-max (and indirectly inode-max I guess) and the output for df -i ?
