My english is not better either :-)

Consider using LVM to expand your disk-space online if your filesystem and your 
RAID-Controller and your Hardware (SCA or FC) support it.
For bigger installations you should use reiser-fs or xfs which do dynamic inode 
allocation so you don´t have to worry about this.

Be sure to read the tuning recommendations for your OS.
