That is scary. I just install new HD with 2TB capacity and ext4 that is 2% full and: |
| 28 |
$ find /home/joseph/ -xdev | wc -l |
| 29 |
shows: 169977 that is 26% full. |

So will run out of inodes before I run out of hard disk space :-/ that is not good. |
| 32 |
If other filesystems don't have these kind of limitation I'll be switching. |
