From: Christopher Michaels <ChrisMic@clientlogic.com> Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 11:06:24 -0400 For the sake of argument, what determines the number of inodes that a filesystem has? Because I have about 12GB on a 20GB filesystem and maybe 4% of my inodes are used. Given this experience it's hard for me to picture someone running out of inodes. :) The -i option to newfs. Again, it comes back to being efficient with disk space. Most people, like yourself (and, for that matter, myself), have enough space that throwing away a few megabytes is no big deal. However, it is quite important to be *able* to avoid the wastage. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
