Typical values for a filesystem used by news-spool: 80% blocks, 100% inodes for 'newfs' (without any options), 100% blocks, 70% inodes for 'newfs -i 4096'. (This is a contradiction to newfs manpage which claims 'newfs' equal to 'newfs -i 2048' and should be fixed to 'newfs' equal to 'newfs -i 8192'.) If (as in my case) /var is an own filesystem, dump - newfs - restore in singel-user works.
