It means tha= t smaller disks have a very limited number of inodes. If you search for the i= node issue you will find people recommending using newfs to change it. An in= stall in 4GB worked with 1KB inode size for me. I believe there was already= discussion about inode count issues elsewhere, but I cannot immediately see= which PR that was.=20
