I'm going to put 4 million files into an EXT4 partition. I have about 700 files in each dir, the average file size is 38kb, total size is 169 gigabyte.



What are the best options in term of block size, inode size and inode ratio I can choose?



Is it better to create two or more partitions, thinking at the checking time fsck could take?
