I don't think it's that unusual for a small slice. For example I recently installed FreeBSD on a 1.44GB hard drive, using the auto-defaults, and I ran out of inodes on /usr before sysinstall was finished installing the ports collection. That's when I learned about those options to newfs. It's only the inodes / block averaged over time figure that matters when determining the proper ratio. Some activities (like installing the ports collection) use a lot of inodes / block, but that doesn't mean the steady- state use of the system will continue to consume inodes at the same prodigious rate. The OP will probably be fine by giving himself twice the inodes on that partition. -- Danny MacMillan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
