LVM has nothing to do with inodes. Inodes are a filesystem concept, and |
| 5 |
filesystems do not really care about the kind of block device they |
| 6 |
reside on. Well, generally. |

Only because by unless you specify a value mke2fs allocates a number of |
| 11 |
inodes proportional to the size of the filesystem, with the default |
| 12 |
being 1 inode every 16kB (see /etc/mke2fs.conf). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
But for ext[234] the number of inodes is fixed at filesystem creation, |
| 15 |
so even if you use LVM you can't increase it by -- say -- growing the |
| 16 |
underlying LV and then using resize2fs. |
