Inlined files live in metadata and decrease storage requirements, but may be limited to improve metadata-related performance. This is especially important given the current plague of metadata performance. Though decreasing inline_max may make metadata more dense and increase block usage, so it's important to benchmark if optimizing for speed. The underlying limits of inlined files haven't changed: 1. Inlined files need to fit in RAM, so <= cache_size 2. Inlined files need to fit in a single attr, so <= attr_max 3. Inlined files need to fit in 1/8 of a block to avoid metadata overflow issues, this is after limiting by metadata_max, so <= min(metadata_max, block_size)/8 By default, the largest possible inline_max is used. This preserves backwards compatibility and is probably a good default for most use cases. This does have the awkward effect of requiring inline_max=-1 to indicate disabled inlined files, but I don't think there's a good way around this.
