The number of Inodes are related to the filesystem size. But when you
create a file system, you also have a chance to use something other than
the defaults.

I ran into this problem a while back, when squid ran out of inodes on a
small filesystem. In my case, I just scaled back the number of directories
that squid was allowed to create.

(But you may want a second opinion on the whole thing.)
