Hi,
 
query regarding the inode value of a directory.
 
We have a directory in production machine number of files are increasing
and hence the inode value increases. However after a limit the number of
files will become constant and then inode value will also not increase.
 
We want to know what is the maximum limit for inode count and is there
any potential danger if the inode value has already reached to a limit
like 12 million.
 
Files in this directory are of very small size (less than 100 bytes) but
number of files can increase upto 0.6 million.
 
Please let us know if there can be a potential issue due to this
increasing number of inode value
 
We get the inode value using the command -
ls -ltr <dir_name>

[Srini] Thanks
