We have a problem with fragmentation in our "news" disk partition. That partition sometimes "fills up" during news expiration. But I have found that it is only full file blocks, not fragments or inodes, that we are running out of. So I would like to rebuild the file system in that partition using 8K file blocks instead of the default 16K. Is there any configuration information that I have to change elsewhere if I do this? Is there anything else I need to do other than specify the 8K block size as an option to newfs? -bill -- Bill Thomason Email: wbt@rex.cs.tulane.edu Dept. of Computer Science thomason@rex.cs.tulane.edu Tulane University wbt@rex.uucp New Orleans, LA 70118
