[Lustre-discuss] Huge numbers of inodes

I doubt it. The largest lustre systems are a little over 300 million files
that are really in existence.

However, the limits, in terms of just maximum inodes allowed, using 4K per
inode and a 2TB max MDT size (mirrored 2 copies), only allows for a little
over 500 million files max.

Does anybody have experience with Lustre filesystems in the 5-10B inode
range?   What kind of gotchas do you find at that scale?  What are your
stripe settings like?
