Subject: Increasing number of inodes after format?
Date: Tue, 08 Jun 2004 17:27:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40C62F2F.4090801@techsource.com> (raw)

I was involved in a discussion a while back where it was explained that 
ext2/3 allocate a certain maximum number of inodes at format time, and 
you cannot increase that number later.

It was also mentioned that one or more of the journaling file systems 
(XFS, JFS, Reiser, etc.) either dynamically allocated inodes or could 
increase the maximum later if the pre-allocated set got used up.

Could someone please repeat for me which filesystems have dynamic 
maximum inode counts?

Thanks.
