I hope someone can help me out a bit with this, I'm not an expert on
filesystems.

I want to set up a small (~300G) drive for online backups, taken with
backintime from a nightly cron job. backintime uses rsync/hard links to
take the backups, so there will be a lot of links. The source of the
backup is mainly small files, and many of them don't change that
frequently.

What I'm wondering is this: what should I set blocksize, inode count
and inode ratio etc to? Also, would ext4 be a good fs to choose, or are
there better alternatives?

TIA,

Petter
