Hi list,

Are there any recommendations for the blocksize, bytes/i-node, and
cylinders/group parameters when newfs'ing an UFS2 filesystem?

I am afraid of ending up with a fs with Gigs of space and no inodes 
left, or a fs that is heavily fragmented and slow.

Which params should i use for a
- 10G
- 100G
- 500G

filesystem?

I read man(7) tuning but would like to hear about some real experiences.

Thanks very much for your help!
