Ok I have an md(4) file system that I changed the block size and inode density on. The file was about 1.3GB in size originally and when using newfs with standard parameters shows about 1.3GB in size. My new parameters to newfs ( -f 512 -b 4096 -i 1024 -U -O 2) are meant to allow a lot of small files (basically lots of files around 170bytes long). (holding mail "tuples" for a sort of grey listing) However, df (df -h or df -m etc) shows 1.0Gb instead of 1.3Gb for the file system size. Is the "missing" ~ 300mb the extra space needed to store the actual extra inodes themselves or is it an artifact of changing the parameters so that df gets confused?
