i smell some great FAQ material here :) > [otto@lou:17]$ sudo newfs -N -i 1000000 -f 65536 -b 65536 /dev/rsd0l would there be an explicit advantage of using ffs2 in this case? is the biggest plus of ffs2 the increased size of all the limits and the fact that inodes are allocated only when needed? -f -- someone whom you reject today, will reject you tomorrow.
