Hello all, I built a 40GB disk into my FreeBSD-4.6-PRERELEASE yesterday and did the suggested fdisk -- disklabel -- newfs procedure to partition it. After starting to mount and copy stuff, I was astonished to see that some file systems ran out of inodes, and others (when copied from a smaller file system on the old disk) would increase from 1.7GB to almost 3GB used space. Closer analysis showed me that the default fragsize in newfs seems to be 16kB now (identical to blksize). :-(( That cannot be the intention of the author, and it isn't described in the man pages either. The default fragsize is supposed to be 2048 (1/8 of the blksize) and manually setting this value reverts to the expected behavior (no wasted space, enough inodes). Did anybody else notice this?
