I searched the web again and found a possible solution to my problem. I used the "newfs -U -O2 /dev/da1" command to create the filesystem directly on the Is it somehow bad to make a filesystem directly on a storage device such as disk drive or hardware raid volume?
no it is all right! it just means that you don't need partitions. same with winpartitions (fdisk) i never make them, just bsdlabel.
hint - with volume that will store only huge files (you've said video server) use little inodes and large blocks.
and set -m 0 to make all space available newfs -m 0 -O2 -U -i $[4*1024*1024] -b 65536 -f 8192 /dev/da1 this will use 64K blocks, 8K fragments and one inode per 4MB space _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
