I took eps' advice and did a rebuild of my Wren-8 for 3.0.  First, I  
reformatted to 1024 bytes sectors.  That gained over 50mb, so I felt it was  
worth it, even on a 1.4 gb drive.  Well, the problem (if it is one) is that  
newfs (and BuildDisk) make a table for the fs that generates a warning that the  
4096 bytes per inode is not possible, and it will use 4490 bytes per inode.   
Not knowing enough about the topic, I just 'feel' that the 4490 bytes per inode  
will be a bad fit on a 1024 bytes per sector HD.  Here's the newfs report:

cube:11# newfs -N -v /dev/sd0a

I ran it for real with -c 12 to reduce the cyl. group size as requested, and  
get:

Which looks like a better match to me, but I cannot get either BuildDisk to  
'take' this, or can I get the CD/floppy initial build proceedure to use it.


I went ahead and built it as BuildDisk wanted to, and it all seems to work  
fine. 

Any ideas?  Does any of this matter?

Thanks,

Jim
