Bytes Per InodesAdded on:8/14/2008 10:27:04 PM

- When you format a partition using Linux's primary file system, ext2, you have the choice of how many bytes per inode you want. From the man page:
-i bytes-per-inode
- Specify the bytes/inode ratio. mke2fs creates an inode for every bytes-per-inode bytes of space on the disk. This value defaults to 4096 bytes.
bytes-per-inode must be at least 1024.
- This means that by using a smaller size, you will save disk space but may slow down the system. It is a space/speed trade off.
- This is similar to one of FAT16/FAT32' major differences.
