This is *very* dependent on system configuration details.  Exhausting inodes
is one problem that utzoo has never, ever, had, although we tend to run with
90%-full filesystems most of the time.  We've never even been close.  So I
think it is fairer to say that it *might* be a problem, depending on your
system.
