Inode usage

["Stein M. Hugubakken" <dulci@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have a lot of free inodes on my xfs-partitions and was wondering about 
what impact this has on performance or memory?

Here is output from 'df':
df -ih
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hda2               5,1M    129K    5,0M    3% /
/dev/hda3                31M     54K     31M    1% /home

df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2             5,1G  2,8G  2,4G  55% /
/dev/hda3              31G   18G   13G  59% /home

With xfs_growfs -m I can adjust the amount of free inodes, but it seems 
I can't change it for the root-partition, why is that a problem?

Kind regards
Stein
