- Check the mkfs man page; it should give you an example similar to:
-
- mkfs -options /dev/whatever blocks:inodes
-
- Last time I lookd at my news spool, I was using an average of about 3.5
- blocks (512 bytes) per inode. Figure your block/inode usage, and allocate
- a thousand or so extra inodes (takes a trivial amount of space for the
- insurance against running out) when you remake the fs.
-
- I haven't had any problems with space (other than sheer volume) since I
- did that.
