I did a right click on the directory in Dolphin and selected
properties. It told me there is a little over 55,000 files. Some 1,100
directories, not sure if directories use inodes or not. Basically,
there is a little over 56,000 somethings on that file system. I was
curious what the smallest file is and the largest. No idea how to find
that really. Even du separates by directory not individual files
regardless of directory. At least the way I use it anyway.
If I ever have to move things around again, I'll likely start a thread
just for figuring out the setting for inodes. I'll likely know more
about the number of files too.

Could take hours or more too. This is what KDE properties
shows.
