Generally these file systems are configured with a block size of 256KB. As for inodes I would not pre-allocate any and set the initial maximum size to value such as 5000 since it can be increased if necessary.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] Dedicated filesystem for cesSharedRoot
Date: Thu, Jun 25, 2020 6:47 AM
Hi all,
I would like to use CES for exporting Samba and NFS. However, when reading the documentation (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_5.0.4/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r04.doc/bl1adm_setcessharedroot.htm), is recommended (but not enforced) the use of a dedicated filesystem (of at least 4GB).
Is there any best practice or recommendation for configuring this filesystem? This is: inode / block sizes, number of expected files in the filesystem, ideal size for this filesystem (from my understanding, 4GB should be enough, but I am not sure if there are conditions that would require a bigger one).
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Marc
