A patch to use 16KB per inode for big fs none

Description hjl 2002-09-18 18:47:35 UTC 
By default, mke2fs allocates one inode for every 8KB data.
On a tera byte filesystem, it is a lot of inodes. I am
uploading a patch to change it to 16KB per inode for fs
bigger than 1TB.

Can you please submit this also for inclusion into the upstream release?

Thanks,

Done
Comment 4 Florian La Roche 2003-01-14 21:16:15 UTC 
Seems this is not part of release 1.32. Is this resolved with an option instead
changing the automatic defaults?

greetings,

Closing here, should go into upstream releases.
