Inode usage

Hi!

I have a lot of free inodes on my xfs-partitions and was wondering about
what impact this has on performance or memory?

Here is output from 'df':
df -ih
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 5,1M 129K 5,0M 3% /
/dev/hda3 31M 54K 31M 1% /home

df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 5,1G 2,8G 2,4G 55% /
/dev/hda3 31G 18G 13G 59% /home

With xfs_growfs -m I can adjust the amount of free inodes, but it seems
I can't change it for the root-partition, why is that a problem?

Kind regards
Stein
