Re: Trouble copying a large number of files to last ext2 partition

["Laurent de Segur" <ldesegur@mac.com>]

I use the partition for a bunch of cvs trees so this is a high probability.
Thanks for pointing this out. Is there a way to increase inode numbers on a
partitions (even without reformatting)? Is ext2 giving me less inodes than
ext3 on a partition? Should I switch to xfs or reiserfs for this partition
if I plan on storing lots of small files? Puzzled.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Laurent
