I have started using one terabyte disks for storing some of my data. And, only lately have I started realizing the size it represents.
One of my machines started behaving funny (would not let you create files) even though the disk was only 63% full. Further investigation by wiser heads than mine revealed that the ext3 filesystem I was using ran out of inodes, just when the disk was about half full...
There are few things that can be done now, given that there is substantial data in the disk, and cannot be formatted anytime soon.. note to me: 1 Terabyte disks run out of inodes way before they run out of disk space on ext3. Next time, they should be split into two partitions of 500GB each to manage the filesystem info..
