i meant to ask now for some time, what are (sensible) max
values? can't find it in newfs(8), disklabel(8).
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 555913152 64 4.2BSD 8192 65536 1
i dont have an excessively big partition (but big enough
for a veeery slow fsck with default newfs values) but it
holds only media files, so i dont think i need lots of inodes.
so i newfs-ed with -O 2 and big fsize/bsize. but i still have
too many inodes. maybe 10x less inodes would suffice?
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/dev/sd2a 263G 141G 122G 54% 64861 8730273 1% /home/f/data
would these help in any way for media collections?
-g avgfilesize
The expected average file size for the file system in bytes.
-h avgfpdir
The expected average number of files per directory on the
file system.
$ sudo tunefs -N /dev/sd2a
tunefs: tuning /dev/sd2a
tunefs: current settings of /dev/sd2a
maximum contiguous block count 1
maximum blocks per file in a cylinder group 8192
minimum percentage of free space 0%
optimization preference: space
average file size: 16384
expected number of files per directory: 64
tunefs: no changes made
default average file size is rather conservative.
and totally untrue for the media collection :)
