As I remember, if you enlarge a logical volume by adding a new physical |
| 12 |
volume, you then have to expand the filesystem to use that additional |
| 13 |
space. Looking at resize2fs, it does increase the number of inodes, but |
| 14 |
only linearly in proportion to the amount of increased size. I don't |
| 15 |
see any way to tell it to decrease, or even just not increase, the |
| 16 |
number of inodes. |

Related question - how much space would you actually save by decreasing |
| 19 |
the number of inodes by 90%? Enough for one or two more videos? |
