ACRONIS PARTITIONEXPERT 2003 User Manual page 66

The «bytes per a single INODE» value indicates the average partition file
size. If there are many small files, there must be many descriptors, each of
which occupies some space. Large files require fewer descriptors.
Acronis PartitionExpert enables you to resize INODE tables of existing parti-
tions to change the maximum file amount on it.
If you need to resize INODE table of an existing Linux Ext2/Ext3 partition:
1. Select disk and Linux Ext2/Ext3 partition from the list in Acronis
PartitionExpert main window,
2. Execute operation of INODE resizing by selecting Disk
Change Bytes per INODE or a similar item in the Advanced sidebar list,
or by clicking
(or selecting it from partition or the graphical representation context
menu),
If you select a partition with another file system, mentioned sidebar and con-
text menu items will be unavailable.
3. Enter the new amount of bytes per descriptor (INODE) in the Change
bytes per INODE window,
Resize INODE window
4. By clicking OK in the Change bytes per INODE window, you add the
pending operation of Linux Ext2/Ext3 partition INODE resizing (your ac-
tions may only undo or modify an existing operation, See 2.4.5 «Modifying
pending operations»).
