Typically needing more inodes means that you are using the drive to store many small files. Typically this has to be planned into your file systems when you create them. The ext3/ext4 file system IIRC doesn't let you change number of inodes once the file system has been laid down. A file system like XFS might be more useful for your case storing many small files since it manages inodes in a different way. -- Paul W.
