XFS, JFS, ReiserFS (your data may disappear under suspicious
circumstances, but you won't have any firm proof it was the FS's
fault!) (yes, I'm a bad man) all have the "inodes are dynamically
created as needed" thing going on.
Presumably ext4 will have this feature, as well.
In practice, we run several mail servers on ext3, created with no
special options (just "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/node") and are doing fine
both space and inode issues.
