  • So I would need to create enough empty files to arrive to 100% usage of inodes? Commented Jul 13, 2017 at 19:43
  • @luchonacho yes, effectively one empty file per inode. Commented Jul 13, 2017 at 20:55
  • Also note extended attributes that can add space on top of that. For instance, if the directory has a lot of default ACLs, creating a file in it will need space to store those ACLs. Commented Jul 21, 2017 at 11:09
  • OK,I stand corrected. Thing is, it looks weird to me both with the rendered and fixed-width fonts on my browser. Out of curiosity, how do you insert them? Does your keyboard have a different key for that character and the U+0022 one? Commented Jul 21, 2017 at 12:17
  • Thanks, out of curiosity, I checked if they were on my UK keyboard layout and indeed they are on AltGr+Shift+V/B (double quotes without shift). I'll stick with U+0022 though. Commented Jul 21, 2017 at 13:40
