'typical' use: install system and install ports
fetch sources and buildworld
this cause me insuficient inodes

I know 'man' and can read that. I only ask to use different values for
disks with size ~5G. this change will make life easier for newbies.
I only question: 'Is this change will make life easier for others'?
I do not ask, why I can not do something, or help me or else.

RB> "Read the fine manpage" applies. along with 'know your useage'.
