That paper is not saying it's small "in comparison", it's saying it's small for a filesystem. It's silly.

Yes I would. If they were stuck with ext4.

In general I'd recommend something with checksums.

It's not, it's clearly saying the inode count is too small for their 1 billion file test.

I meant good advice. There's enough stories of people running out of inodes even of the tiny sample in this thread that it's not good advice to cut the inode count 4x.
