Using FreeBSD 2.0, we created default par- titions and have run out of inodes after using only about 20% of each partition. I'd like to redo the file system with about 5x the default number of inodes. Also, the drives have (and are probed as) having 512 byte sectors. FreeBSD is defaulting to using 1k blocks. Should we redo the FS with 512 byte blocks as well? Does this require even more inodes? Detailed feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks ! J.G.
