I ran a very small personal webserver with limited storage on Ubuntu on EC2 for a while.
The EC2 instance, likely the smallest configuration available at the time, hit an inode limit just running updates over time.
- Dylan16807 2y agoSuper small drives are a special case for sure. You don't want to go below a certain number of inodes even on a 5GB root, but you also don't want to scale that up 50x on a 250GB root.
- starspangled 2y agoWhy are super small drives a special case? It's still the same data to inode ratio.
- Dylan16807 2y agoThere's a lot of small files that come with your typical OS install, going into the first handfuls of gigabytes. When you add on another terabyte, the distribution is totally different. The files are much bigger.
- starspangled 2y agoRight, so it's entirely about usage rather than filesystem size.
- Dylan16807 2y agoDifferent sizes have different uses.
