I've never run out of inodes, even on small partitions. I just let ext4 make
a fs with its default settings. Is there a magic formula to determine how
many inodes are optimal?
Some FSes allocate inodes as required. I know btrfs
If you run man mke2fs, you should check out -N and -i. It was
trial-and-error (for me, anyway) to find the right number.
Consider using reiserfs for /usr/portage. No real performance advantage
over ext[234], but works well with lots of small files and there's no
inode count to worry about.

Would LVM somehow prevent these sort of things from happening? LVM
doesn't affect inode usage, does it?
AFAIK you will gain

LVM has nothing to do with inodes. Inodes are a filesystem concept, and
filesystems do not really care about the kind of block device they
reside on. Well, generally.

Only because by unless you specify a value mke2fs allocates a number of
inodes proportional to the size of the filesystem, with the default
being 1 inode every 16kB (see /etc/mke2fs.conf).
But for ext[234]

Certainly not. It's 100% stable as far as I know.
Or should this warning be removed?
