The thing you need is mke2fs -i BYTES-PER-INODE ... of mke2fs -N NUMBER-OF-INODES have a look at the man page of the appropriate mkfs man page for more information. I suppose that there is a similiar thing with reieserfs. This BYTES-PER-INODE is also the number of bytes a file will occupy on all circumstances on your harddisk. But don't make this value too small because then the number of inodes (the max. number of files) will become quite big and you diskspace and performance. AFAIK the default value for such fs-sizes is 8k per inode. Probably a value of 1 or 2k will fit your needs.
