>Environment:

	Generic kernel

>Description:

	During boot, fsck fails on one particular file system with the message:
           cannot alloc 7730626 bytes for lncntp
 
        Said filesystem is big and has lots of inodes:

Filesystem   1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity iused   ifree  %iused Mounted on
/dev/sd2s1e    8396407  5387897  2336797    70% 1484960 2380350    38% /var/spool/news


>How-To-Repeat:

	reboot

>Fix:
	
	The resources allocated to "daemon" in /etc/login.conf need to be
increased.  No attempt was made to tune these increased parameters.
