How many bytes per inodes?

Question

I need to create a very high number of files which are not very large (like 4kb,8kb). It\'s not possible on my computer cause it takes all inodes up to 100% and I cannot create

Answer 1

You can find out the approximate inode ratio by dividing the size of available space by the number of available inodes. For example:

$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | awk -F: ' \
    /^Block count:/ { blocks = $2 } \
    /^Inode count:/ { inodes = $2 } \
    /^Block size:/ { block_size = $2 } \
    END { blocks_per_inode = blocks/inodes; \
          print "blocks per inode:\t", blocks_per_inode, \
                "\nbytes per inode:\t", blocks_per_inode * block_size }'

blocks per inode:    3.99759 
bytes per inode:     16374.1
