- I don't get the warning -- here on all my drives I used nbpi=8096 *except*
- for the news partition where I believe I used nbpi=1024 -- of course, I also
- use free=0 and opt=t when running mkfs on the ufs filesystems
-
- using the 8096 gives me more disk space (over the default which I believe
- is 2048) on the drives which don't need all the inodes
