[LIH] inode density and max files on the HDD/partition

[Rohit]

Hi list,

Can you give me some pointers to understanding the relation between the
maximum number of files created on a filesystem and the inode density
[what does that mean?]. Also, the block-size and how it may be related
to the speed of accessing an HDD and space wastage on the HDD?

I wish to carry out some serious experimentation this weekend and post
the results..

Rohit
