It's important to realize that a mixed V3/V4 installation will use more
inodes than just V3 or V4 alone. If you migrate an existing V3
installation to V4 (using BackupPC_migrateV3toV4), the inode usage to store
the backup trees will double, while the inode usage to store the pool files
will be the

I was hoping someone would have answered you by now...
I think the long term answer is to update to 4.x where it won't be a
problem anymore but I have a feeling trying to upgrade while you're already

though (untested).

On 2nd thought, that looks logical from a FS point of vue, and good to
