Has anyone out there in >6000 support thought about or considered this?? Yep, a number of people have tossed this idea around. I think it's a great idea, however (in all seriousness) support probably does not have the time to attack this. I think development could handle it though :-). >I have seen this said a couple of different times, is this literally >true?

The number of inodes is approx 3% of the total size of the filesystem. To allocate more inodes, you'll have to extend the filesystem (which will give you more data blocks that are probably useless to you anyway if you're just looking for more inodes). >Disclaimer: I don't speak for my employer. me neither. >Jack F.
