I'm using SNAP-0322. I'm doing fine with a block/fragment size of 8192/1024 and newfs'ing the partition with `newfs -i 2048 /dev/whatever_your_pertition_is'. BTW, I'm using a 1 gig news partition. I gave the -i parameter to newfs because it's not true what the man page states (1 inode every 2k). In my case it created a fs with 1 inode every 4k which produced the famous "out of inodes" error message :-( -- Michael Giegerich, E-Mail: migieger@luva.lb.bawue.de, Voice: +49 7144 39337
