<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I have never tried, but couldn't you simply <span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols; font-size:16px">
manually define a higher bytes-per-inode ratio with</span><span style="font-size:12pt"> mkfs.ext4 -i ? </span></p>

<br>
Short version:<br>
------------------- <br>
What is the best filesystem for DLS data ?<br>
<br>
Long version:<br>
-------------------<br>
I am running DLS to archive a lot of signals (about 20K), and I am facing an issue with the number of files.<br>
<br>
I have a 1TB EXT4 filesystem to store the data. It is 50% full but there is no more free inodes, because DLS creates many files and directories.<br>
According to the output of “df -i”, DLS has already created about 78M of files.<br>
<br>
I understand that I have to switch to another filesystem that supports a bigger number of files.<br>
And I wonder, what is the best filesystem for such a case.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
