How do I change the block size on a filesystem? I have a partition for usenet news and the default block size is wasting a lot of space. I might need to bump up the number of inodes as well. Thank you. Brian

And, the only way to bump up the number of inodes is to extend the filesystem (which will give you more data blocks and more inodes). You cannot increase the number of inodes without increasing the size of the filesystem. Inodes will always occupy 3% of the filesystem's total size. -- Craig Miller Internet: dcm@aixwiz.austin.ibm.com IBM Austin Vnet: tkg007 at ausvmq AIXV3 Change Team (level3) IBM internal: dcm@littleguy.austin.ibm.com "I do not represent IBM or any other respectable company."
