Increasing Inodes

[Nath_3]

Hi All,

How to increase inodes for a particular file system? Inodes can be increased by increasing he nnode in the kernel. Also let me know how this can be done in Linux.

Thanks

Hi:

For VxFS filesystems, the number of inodes will grow as necessary. By default, they are unlimited, although you can specify a value during filesystem creation with '-o ninode=n'.

If you have a filesystem with more than 2**32 files, you should enable 'largefiles' to allow the number of inodes to grow beyond this limit.

HFS filesystems are deprecated and the inode maximum is fixed at creation.

The kernel tunable 'ninode' is discussed in:

http://docs.hp.com/en/7779/commonMisconfig.pdf

You shouldn't need to tune it unless you have large numbers of those deprecated HFS filesystems.

Regards!

You should ask this question in the Linux forum. Possibly after searching.
