I have a courier-imap Server where I share all all mailinglists where=20 I am subscribed... Curently I have 5,2 Millionen Messages in the ext3. I have already striped the messages with=20 :0 fh | formail -f -I Received: -I Envelope-to: -I Delivered-To: -I Return-path:= \ -I X-Spam-Checker-Version: -I X-Spam-Status: -I X-Spam-Level:=20 I have a mailsize of around 2,5 kBytes... So I habe used 'mkfs.ext3 -b 1024 -N 8000000 ... /dev/sda..' My question is, how many Inodes can I create on a ext3 filesystem ? Curently I am running a 3Ware Raid-5 Controller 75xx with 3 x 80 GByte. >Cheers, Andreas Greetings Michelle --=20 Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/=20 Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/88452356 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com) --kbCYTQG2MZjuOjyn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.pgp" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA8VTyC0FPBMSS+BIRAjvaAKCJdAFdLoGsVWjPW3veavXjEr77EACfX1K3 cjbIsHN9gp3uw0yhKMF8fJk= =bgV2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --kbCYTQG2MZjuOjyn--
