You could have also tuned ext4 when you created it with mke2fs. You can specify with -N the max # of inodes desired. Granted, it's not something very many people consider when creating their filesystems; for one thing it's hard to predict how many you will need.

It would be great if it had switch that simply says "double the default number of inodes". Per stories in comments, seems that on large file systems it's easier to run out of inodes, the default must be too low.

Unfortunately it was on a pre-baked image on AWS, and you apparently can't retrofit it.

Also most distro installers don't make it very easy to do this.
