"newfs" tells you how many inodes it creates per cylinder group Will do. The current machine is using 2056 inodes for 1.2TB.. with 3,539,382 inodes free. For the next machine I will use a higher number in newfs until I get the number of free Inodes close to 100K. That will give the machine plenty of free inodes. Thanks for your feedback.
