- How long has it been that neither newfs nor mkfs has understood the
- inode ration option? I can recall the problem back to 3.0. I've just
- needed to bump up the number of inodes on a filesystem on our new 5900
- and what do you know, it's still got the bug (4.2a).
-
- Would it be possible to get it fixed one day? I've seen people
- mentioning it before and the lads from DEC said it was "fixed in the
- next release". If there's no plan for it to be fixed I'll send in a bug
- report. I assumed that this would have been done by someone over the
- past 3 years or so.
-
- maybe one day (or should we all just remove our news partitions?)
-
-
- bambi - ah that feels better.
