some numbers:
(root@kenobi)[/]-# for i in $(perl -ane 'print "$F[3]\n" if /^\s/' /proc/partitions);
do /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/$i 2>/dev/null | grep -e "Inode count" -e "^Free inodes:"; done
Inode count: 40320
Free inodes: 36825
Inode count: 1904640
Free inodes: 1522509
Inode count: 223232
Free inodes: 164544
Inode count: 2000
Free inodes: 1970
Inode count: 185088
Free inodes: 185077
Inode count: 2072640
Free inodes: 2031702
pixel@leia:/>for i in $(perl -ane 'print "$F[3]\n" if /^\s/' /proc/partitions); do
/sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/$i 2>/dev/null | grep -e "Inode count" -e "^Free inodes:"; done
Inode count: 26104
Free inodes: 18422
Inode count: 128520
Free inodes: 98794
Inode count: 127744
Free inodes: 86967
Inode count: 97536
Free inodes: 96061
Inode count: 155040
Free inodes: 154260
Inode count: 359744
Free inodes: 359644
using this number, we can say reducing by half the number of inodes is safe. Or
am i missing something?
