Need a filesystem with "unlimited" inodes

at least for be it's the best. High performance, minimal hardware resource 
usage, perfect recovery from failures.

yes do
newfs -i 512 -b 4096 -f 512 -U /dev/disk

you may add -O1, for simple reason. It will create UFS1 filesystem, which 
won't be slower in case of small files (it will be with very large), but 
one inode takes 128, not 256 bytes, which will make huge difference !!!

use -m 0 or -m <very little> as probably you control it yourself what's 
put here, and extra fragmentation or mostly-full FS won't exist with 
really small files.


just fsck will take a lot of time, you may try gjournal or simply accept 
it, as FreeBSD don't crash often :)
