man tunefs See, in particular, the section on the -m option, which describes (in brief) the known performance problems and how FreeBSD reacts. Robert's numbers aren't quite right. The point at which performance starts to suck is 90% full. You won't have any _problems_, it's just that performance will degrade, according to the man page, up to 3x slower. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
