An inode holds information about a file.  The number of inodes
actually present in the partition depends on the partition size
and the parameters you supply to mke2fs when you formatted the
partition.  The smaller the block size the more inodes you can
create (up to a certain point).  Block sizes are normally 2k or 4k
but I have been able to create 1k block size on really small
partitions.

I do not think it is necessary to set inode_max, because the maximum
number of inodes on each partition depends on the partition size.
Essentially inode_max is limited only by the 64-bit file pointer
size and the actual number of GB or TB in your partition.
