 Just to note, the problem here is defaulting inode size to 4KB. It means tha=
 t smaller disks have a very limited number of inodes. If you search for the i=
 node issue you will find people recommending using newfs to change it. An in=
 stall in 4GB worked with 1KB inode size for me.  I believe there was already=
  discussion about inode count issues elsewhere, but I cannot immediately see=
  which PR that was.=20
