Greetings,
We're about to hit 100% in inode usage again and this time, I want to increase `maxfiles' to a more reasonable level than the current 1 per 32KB allocation.
The average file size on our 216GB volume is ~4KB. But I think increasing maxfiles by 8 times might be a bit risky. Or maybe not. Anyone ever increase maxfiles from 1 per 32KB to 1 per 4KB?
Just to play it safe, I'm thinking of doing it in 4KB increments... first increase to 1 per 28KB and then work my way up if I need it.
Suggestions or testimonials?

i usually wait until my file systems get to about 90% inode utilization before giving them another 50%. seems to work out well. why not go with a strategy like this?
