Hello everyone, In a production server with 8 TB HDD Space. What is recommended partitioning layout to avoid inodes limits in case of 3K accounts with 300K inode limit per account? Should I go with simple specify the number of inodes in "/" partition. Or use multiple partitions like one suggested below :
/ 20G /boot 1G /usr 64G /var 200G (logs, others) /var/lib/mysql 3T (MySQL files) /home 1.4T /home2 1.4T /home3 1.4T swap 32G /backup 500G /tmp 20G
Any thought are welcome. Also how about LVM

  Hello :) It's likely a good idea to utilize the single root partition (other than /backup) if you want to avoid /var/ or /usr filling up. Thank you.
