X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 13:12:18 -0000 Hi list, Are there any recommendations for the blocksize, bytes/i-node, and cylinders/group parameters when newfs'ing an UFS2 filesystem? I am afraid of ending up with a fs with Gigs of space and no inodes left, or a fs that is heavily fragmented and slow. Which params should i use for a - 10G - 100G - 500G filesystem? I read man(7) tuning but would like to hear about some real experiences. Thanks very much for your help!
