Sometimes, I look at the data that's being stored in my file systems and

/gpfs/<path removed>/Restricted/EventChangeLogs/deduped/working contains
17,967,350 files (in ONE directory)
That's what inode quota's are for. Set it pretty high to begin with, say
one million. That way the vast majority of users have no issues ever.
Then the troublesome few will have issues at which point you can
determine why they are storing so many files, and appropriately educate
them on better ways to do it. Finally if they really need that many
files just charge them for it :-) Having lots of files has a cost just
like having lots of data has a cost, and it's not fair for the
reasonable users to subsidize them.
