There's no direct connection between disk limits and inode limits.
You may just evaluate these numbers. E.g. if you expect your files to be big, then the inodes limit may be set low; if you're going to create plenty of small files then the larger inodes limit will be required.
Xemul, thanks for your comments above... However, I am wondering how are people evaluating what size files are going to eventually populate the server - Especially, like Web or DB type servers that are so variable. I don't see how one can predict this. I can understand for servers like dns, ntp, that are merely static in data.
So, from xemul comments above, i can set my disk space to any size with out considering how much inodes to give it. And, the other question is: does the default inode setting is it considered for small files, medium size files or large files? What is the baseline for the initial default inode settings?
