A 4G disk is perhaps quite rare these days, but I expect that the issue is= =20 real. Please file the PR. The default block and fragment size for UFS/FFS were bumped by mckusick in= =20 r222319 (to general assent); presumably the installer should gain some=20 logic to use smaller values for smaller disks, so that the available=20 number of inodes is larger. (I presume that you have successfully=20 installed earlier releases on 4G disk, of course. Though ... I think I=20 may have, myself.) The ports tree has a very large number of small files,= =20 and is thus a very intensive user of inodes. Alas, my five minutes of searching were not enough to find where=20 bsdinstall is actually generating default filesystem options, so I=20 couldn't confirm this assumption. Thanks for the report, Ben Kaduk ---559023410-2067485818-1321588480=:882--
