Reiser doesn't use INodes and appears to have infinite inodes. I've never used maildir but if I did I'd want to use Reiser on it because that's where Reiser is supposed to really gain.
My Sun 420R bought in 2001 just took six seconds for find | wc to tell me I had half a million files and dirs in all my Maildirs.
| backup systems will still continue to blow chunks when presented | with 100Ms of inodes...
We use IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM). It's probably only cost-effective for large shops, but it works great.
