The fs in question was newfs'd -b 4096 -f 512.  On this partition, which I
believe holds rec.*, I have noticed that this yields an almost 1-to-1
correspondence between percentage-disk and percentage-inodes  :-) 

Usually -b 4096 -f 512 yields a higher pct-disk than pct-inodes...

Just a curiousity.  ;-)
