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?
