IMO you're setting yourself up for trouble in the future if you odn't fix
this.
I ran into similar issues a few months ago on a server install with a
small (<800Mb) hard drive.
I would recommend you reinstall, and newfs the drive with a smaller block
size.
tuning(7) has some information on what you could use but I use the
following options when sysinstall prompted me:
-b 4096 -f 1024

They seems to be working well so far. I haven't noticed any performance
problems (actually for a drive in PIO3 it's very responsive).
