Bob, thanks for the quick reply! I had a feeling is was a fairly safe 
operation. Being that I joined the group post file system decision, we’ve had 
many discussions about different storage pools for data/metadata but mostly 
concluded that we would worry about it more critically on the next system at 
this point. Again, thanks.

Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Question about changing inode capacity safely

I increase the inode limit on my file systems on a regular basis with no 
problems. I do have my data/metadata split into separate pools, but the 
procedure is the same.

Hello GPFS admins! I hope everybody had a great start to the new year so far.




Therefore, is there a method to safely increase the maximum inode count and 
could it be done during operation or should the system be unmounted? I’ve man 
paged / searched online and found a few hints suggesting below but was curious 
about its safety during operation:

      mmchfs project --inode-limit <new_max_inode_count>

Again, thank you all!
