I'm making (as we speak) a 12TB RAID6 array, using XFS. My first attempt I noticed XFS was making waaay too many inodes. I know in ext3 I can adjust the inode count, like # bytes per inode, etc. Does anyone know how to do the same in XFS? Man xfs is super confusing on inode count manipulation. I have no idea what numbers it wants in its parameters.
Since my fs has mostly large (2-4GB) files, I like to reduce the inode count by 1-3 orders of magnitude from the defaults to give me more usable space.
Thanks!
