Hi all,

If I want to change the block size and fragment size of a BSD partition will newfs use the
changed values I make in the disklabel or do I still have to use newfs options to specify the
fsize and bsize ?

In other words, by changing the values of the disklabel, does this make the new values the defaultfor newfs ?

Thanks
