order of letters assigned to other partitions. As a result, some shortcuts might stop

Resizing i-node table in Linux Ext2/Ext3
In Linux Ext2/Ext3, the i-node index descriptor is the main data structure
describing files.
Each descriptor contains a file description, including file type, size, data block
pointers, etc. Data block addresses reserved for a file are stored in its index
descriptor.
The space for all i-nodes must be allocated in advance (at formatting). In the
Ext2/Ext3 file systems, the maximum number of files is set at formatting.
The «bytes per a single i-node» value indicates the average partition file size. If
there are many small files, there must be many descriptors, each of which
occupies some space. Large files require fewer descriptors.
Acronis Disk Director Suite enables you to resize i-node tables of existing
partitions to change the maximum file amount on them.
