To: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Cc: "'toby@milkyway.org'" Subject: tuning file systems Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 12:26:43 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The system is a P5-133, 128Mb memory, FreeBSD 3.4, 15Gb hard drive, 50x CDROM. I want to copy CDs to the hard drive and share them with Windows 95/98 clients via samba. All works well, except a 650 Mb CD turns into 1625 Mb of data on the hard drive. I've Read the newfs and tunefs man pages. Changing the block size from 8096 to 4048 helped a little, as did setting the optimization to space. The same system running FreeBSD 2.2.8 only uses 1200 Mb. Is there anything else I can do to reduce the space used on the hard drive?
