SubjectRE: Questions on NFS client inode management.
Date
Hi, Trond

Thanks for the reply. What kind of reclaiming scheme is used by
NFS client and the Linux local file system, say ext2/ext3?
Is it used for reclaiming the inode resources, or for memory
in general (like killing processes)?

Is there any benchmark available to test how many active inodes
a particular system can support?

The same behaviour as for local files: as memory goes low, the
ordinary reclaiming schemes kick in, and all should be hunky-dory. Of
course in the *real world*, ...

Cheers,
