Linux: Why to change inode size?
- by FractalizeR
Hello.
Tune2fs allows to change inode size from default 128 bytes to almost anything (but it should be power of two). What can the the reasons of changing default inode size?
Here http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-7433 is written, that this can be done to be able to store ACL attributes inside inodes. What else can be stored inside inode? May be some other attributes? Or anything else?
Is there any reason to increase inode size on modern high-capacity drives (2TB and more)?
