Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I got a new 120GB hard disk today, and I want to make one huge 120GB volume out of it. I know that when you get into huge volumes that you have to start adjusting the tunefs parameters, otherwise you run out of inodes. Since I really don't have much clue about how to tweak the tweakables in a productive fashion, I'll explain the contents. A file archive. 60-70% of the file count is MP3s and movie files. 15% or so is MIDI files. The rest is programs and installers, mods, and images. The file count/disk usage trends have me filling the archive at around 90,000-110,000 files.
