Any suggestions? Inodes and space are different resources. You can see with df -i. Every file, link, devnode, directory, ... consumes an inode. The number of indoes is constant. The only way to increase the number of inodes is to newfs the partition. Unfortunately the current newfs defaults aren't good for many small files like in sources or ports. Even a typical FreeBSD installation has a smaller bytes/file ratio than newfs creates :( I already complained when the change went in, but it was unheared. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
