Inode limits depends on the file system you use.

I am using Btrfs.

Btrfs inode limits is in a whole different league (whereas ext4's inodes are allocated at filesystem creation time and cannot be resized after creation, typically at 1-2 million, with a hard limit of 4 billion, btrfs's inodes are dynamically allocated as needed, and the hard limit is 2^64, around 18.4 quintillion.

I didn't realize btrfs was still around

I haven't seen anything but ext4 or xfs in over a decade

Me and a lot of linux user friends are using btrfs.
cool

nice to know it still exists :)
