Thats the first thing I did was ln -s /usr/ports/distfiles /usr/tmp  I do
that anyway by default.  At any rate I don't let tar-ball sit on my
computer I am done with so space is not an issue here the 150MB will be
plenty

Thanks for the tip on newfs  I wasn't aware that I could set the number of
Inodes my self via it.
