We've noticed that none of our Next filesystems use more than 17% of the inode  
space allocated by newfs.  We're considering changing the newfs default for  
inode allocation from (roughly) 1-per-4096 bytes to 1-per-8192 (halving the  
number of inodes), but before doing that, I wanted to get a feel for what other  
people are doing.  I know that the "news" filesystem is a special case, but,  
other than that, does anyone have any recommendations in this area?  Any  
gotchas?
