In FreeBSD since the default for newfs by sysisntall is 8K will considerable space be lost if files are less than 4K? Or to re-phrase: is the blocksize the minimun unit of allocation in FreeBSD? What is the Frag size? Newfs man page has a parameter for that, but no explanation. Also noticed on a new computer I am setting up that there are plenty more inodes than I will need. How much space does each inode uses? Does optimization for "space" really helps conserve space? What kind of degradation will be seen by using that flag instead of "time" optimization? ---- francisco@natserv.com The power to serve. http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
