I would gamble that your bytes-per-inode is 4096, as this is the default. To verify, first find the number of inodes on your system (as root): [prompt]# dumpe2fs /dev/hda1 |egrep '^Inode Count:' Then, find the number of blocks: [prompt]# dumpe2fs /dev/hda1 |egrep '^Block Count:' Then, find the size of each block: [prompt]# dumpe2fs /dev/hda1 |egrep '^Block Size:' Then, do some math: <Bytes per Inode> = <Block Count> * <Block Size> / <Inode Count> and it should be close to 4096. Allow some error for rounding, overhead, or crap I didn't think of. I'm sure there is an easier way, but DIIKI* -Mitch *Damned If I Know It
