Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org am building a file server with 90 G of storage (2x 45gig on a highpoint raid 0) , and would like to keep this partitioned as few times as possible. is there a point when i run out of inodes or something? maybe a better question is, what's an ideal partition size ? should i tune this by hand, or are default settings ok? thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
