I'm looking at ~/Photography where there are files of only 3 sizes: the RAW files art 24M, the XML files at a couple of K and the JPG files at a few M. Al in all about 30M per "image"

FYI I took about 300GB worth of photos last year.
Ah, now let's do the Math based on your numbers. 300GB of photos = (roughly) 10000 RAW + 10000 XML + 10000 JPG = 30000 inodes That means you'd fill a 2TB disk with about 200000 inodes (originating from about 66666 photos). Assuming now: you have another 300000 other files on that file system; that makes 500K inodes when you run out of disk (block!) space. As written earlier, mkfs.ext4 created my 797GB file system with 51M inodes. Thus said, IMO it's not worth thinking about the ratio of inodes vs. block size and stuff. BTW: with the assumed 300GB per year, you'd fill up the above 2TB disk in ~6 years ... given the disk is still alive. ;-) Have a nice day, Berny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
