[running out of inodes]
To the best of my knowledge, the only Linux filesystem that handles this well 
is reiserfs and that's been deprecated. The only way to set the inode ratio is 
at file system create/format time. 
Personally, I prefer XFS as filesystem on "large" filesystems, including those
that I use for storing Xymon data. So far I've been running out of space
before I ran out of i-nodes. If need be, I believe it can be tuned without having
to re-format the filesystem.
