Partitioning and inodes

[SilverRock]

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.
