Subject: Re: misc/163051: Small disk sizes with 4k sectors have far too few
inodes in RC2

I've run into the same issue on RC3, and would argue for higher severity
and priority. There does not seem to be a workaround in the
installation process (e.g. the ability to add newfs flags during
partitioning), and this prevents the completion of a desktop
installation on a 10 gig VDI under VirtualBox. Below is output after a
basic XFCE setup and only a few applications:

I agree that a simple check for disk size in the installer would be a
reasonable solution.
Cheers,
