Best inode_ratio for maildir++ on ext4
Hi,
This might be a silly question: which would be
the best inode ratio for a 5 Tb filesystem dedicated to Maildir++
storage? I use ubuntu server, which has a preconfigured setting for
mkfs.ext4 called "news" with inode_ratio = 4096, and after formating the
fs with that setting and then with the defautl setting I see this
difference of space (wasted space, but more inodes):
4328633696 free 1K-blocks with mkfs's "-T news" switch = 1219493877 free
inodes
4557288800 free 1K-blocks with default mkfs settings...

Ext3 - which blocksize for small files?
Hi,
I want to use an ext3 Partition (~1TB) for Mail Storage, this means tons of
small files.
Has anyone recommendations about blocksize, inodes, etc. for mkfs.ext3 ?
Thanks in advance,
David

I would note that the reason the test fails was nothing to do with
free space. It was actually running out of inodes. With ext2/3/4 the
number of inodes in the metadata is fixed at creation and based on the
size of the disk (see /etc/mke2fs.conf inode_ratio and the mke2fs -i
and -N options). Because of the small size of the disk, mke2fs was
choosing < 100 inodes, but because the test had 100+ files it failed
when creating the later files even though there was enough disk space.
There's no easy way to fix this. I think it could even be conside...

[PATCH] make-fs: Don't use du --apparent-size to estimate input size.
When calculating the initial size of the disk we must estimate
how much space is taken by the input. This is quite difficult.
For directories we used ‘du --apparent-size -bs DIR’. This is wrong
because ’-b’ implies ‘--apparent-size --block-size=1’. But also
‘--apparent-size’ causes du to count the file size rather than number
of blocks used by files.
If you have a directory containing many
