Yes, that's what I meant. Run out of inodes on that partition.
I don't think so.
If /V/ is the volume size in bytes, then the default number of
inodes is given by /V//2^13
That's more than enough.
should look like this - V/2^13
Another way to express that: if your average file size is less than
8KB, you will run out of inodes before you run out of disk space.
This would present a real risk for file-per-message mailstores, since
most email messages are significantly smaller that 8KB.
The bytes per inode value is something that can be selected when
creating a filesystem, and different OS's and filesystems have
different defaults. Whether a particular filesystem is headed for
inode exhaustion really depends on how it was created and all of its
contents.
