Installing with XFS - change you change inode size?

[Thaidog]

The default inode size on Fedora is 256. This is the normal default - however Fedora uses SELinux which works much better with a default inode size of 512.

Is there a way to tweak this in the Fedora install?

Just a note, anaconda is now using "attr2" for installs from FC6 and beyond, so
space is more efficiently shared between extents & attributes in the inode.
With that, selinux & attrs should still be pretty efficient in 256 bytes,
without the extra space overhead of the larger inodes, and the 512-byte default
patch has been removed. Note that attr2 is still not the default in mkfs.xfs,
though - it can be set at mkfs or mount time.

So just editing the fstab should fix it then?

yes.

But why not stick to ext3 if this is a worry.

XFS suites my needs better. DV editing.
