As far as I can tell, the GUI/Anaconda doesn't have any place for
me
to insert the increased inode count.
So, I asked for the ability to set custom options many years ago, and
was told there's a way to do it through kickstart. Basically, you have
to have a %pre that adds custom entries to /etc/mke2fs.conf, and then
you reference them in the logvol and/or part lines in the kickstart with
"--fsprofile=foo".
However, then it didn't work for me (in RHEL 6 IIRC) because of a bug
that there was no telling when it would be fixed, so I manually created
filesystems the way I wanted (still in kickstart) and I never looked
back at the "official" way to do it. You can't do that anymore because
anaconda devs decided they should always format the root filesystem.
