 Hi,
 
 I've did some tests: The number of inode after a fresh install of
 9.0-RC2 is half the number of inode after the fresh install of a 8.2.
 I've install a 6Gio hard drive, MBR, no swap partition and all in /
 (under VirtualBox).
 
 After a fresh install of 8.2 (=ABuser=BB insall):
 
 [root at vm]~#df -i
 Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused  Mounted =
 on
 /dev/ad0s1a   6090038 451176 5151660    8%  12509    788257  1%   /
 devfs               1       1       0   100%       0     0  100%   /dev
 
 number of inode =3D iused + ifree =3D 800766
 
 
 After a fresh install of 9.0: (base,kernel,games,lib32)
 
 [root at vm]~#df -i
 Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused  Mounted =
 on
 /dev/ada0s1a   6184164 684012 5005420    12%  13409    412829  3%   /
 devfs               1       1       0   100%       0     0  100%   /dev
 
 number of inode =3D iused + ifree =3D 426238
 
 This is a big problem: It prevent to extract or update the port tree=85
 
 Thanks,
 
 Olivier
