    I might be wrong but for specific applications you just know the block
    size based
    on what the application uses. For the rest, look for the average IO size
    on systat´s vmstat display.

    For inodes, see how many you have and do 2-4 times the number you think
    you need, they are little complicated to add afterwards.
