OK, I know that I can do it for all partitions in the newfs options when I install, but how can I manage this for only one partition? -Bob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I decided to go ahead and do an install in which I increase the inodes for all partitions, which is done with in the options screen. I noticed that you can specify, per partition newfs options in the label screen of the installer. So that is what I wanted, that is what I did. So, I answered my own question and maybe someone else will need to know this if they already do not. -Bob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Either that or see if there isn't a pile of cruft hidden away in some directory that you forgot about. Such a thing happened to me once and by deleting a pile of stuff I was able to limp along quite well until I was able to schedule a rebuild.
