- If you're just looking for more space, and you're not using the disk for
- news, I would recommend increasing the bytes per inode when you newfs
- the disk. I think the default is 2048; increasing it to something like
- 8192 or 16384 will get you at least 5% more space. Use fsdump to tell
- you how many inodes are used if you're not sure how many you can safely
- give up.
