[gpfsug-discuss] Blocksize, yea, inode size!

[Marc A Kaplan]

inode size will be a crucial choice in the scenario you describe.

Consider the conflict: A large inode can hold a complete file or a 
complete directory.
But the bigger the inode size, the less that fit in any given block size 
-- so when you have to read several inodes ...  more IO, less likely that 
inodes you want are in the same block.
