(SOLVED) Disk usage questions/problems...

Hi,

I have been using arch linux for awhile now on two different machines, and I noticed today on one of them that the reported disk usage by conky was wrong.  Now upon further inspection I found out that my home partition was only using approx. 4 gigabytes of data for user files, however another 3 gigabytes were being used for inodes.  Just curious but is that natural?  Normal?  Is there any way to reduce the ratio of space?  Will the inodes continue to grow as I fill the 50 gigabyte partition?  I have googled and searched the forum for something that would clarify this for me, however if I missed something I would kindly accept a helping hand (even if it is only in directions to somewhere else.)
