Message-ID: <20030203194828.GA55143@elvis.mu.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hey All, I'm looking for recommendations on the newfs options for a 1.0TB file system for say /home (it's a fileserver for 52000+ accounts that range from having 4k to 40GB in their directories.) When I initally created the file system, the options I set are: block size of 65536 and a fragsize of 8192. This has worked out for me in the past but now that the fs is more than 50% in use, the fsck's (it's a -STABLE system) are taking about an hour to complete. In a previous thread somebody recommended that I tweak the inodes when I have the time to rebuild the filesystem (I might have that opportunity soon). Currently, about 20% of the inodes (6141123/25124155 - used/free) are in use. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance, Cheers, Ryan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
