    Disk space and inodes are different things. Inodes identify the physical location on a disk where a file resides in unix filesystems. The inode count reflects the number of files on the server, not the amount of space used. This allows for multiple paths (hard links) to point to a single file. To think of them in database terms, consider these two schemas:

    Code:
    FILES(INode*, Data)
DIRECTORY(Path*, FILES_INode)
*Primary key
    I'm not sure why there would be an inode limit in the first place, but I believe Les or Masood said (in another thread, 2 or 3 weeks ago) that they can increase the limit if you need it.

    An account with 1,000,000 10K files (consuming about 10GB of disk space) requires much more in terms of server resources than an account with 10,000 1MB files (also consuming about 10GB).

    Especially for backups, restores, conversions, fscks, *probably* quota accounting, etc., etc., etc.
