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. So in your case, this is indeed a "do-
over'. And you will not want to set the bytes per inode up significantly on
root (/), /usr, or /tmp - which is why I suggested /opt or /usr/local as
filesystems to run xymon.
