Hi, I need to create a partition that will be used to store large number of small files (qmail Maildir) I normally (without vinum in the picture) do this via newfs -i 2048 -f 512 /dev/... So when using newfs to create an fs via vinum, I am assuming I have to specify -i and -f options in addition to -v. However, I noticed that these options where also specified under disklabel for the entire vinum drive (I saw fsize and bsize - which I assume will be fragment size and block size). So my questions is:- Is it possible to specify these settings only for one volume (where I store my mail files)? Does it mean I can ignore the settings that I saw in disklabel (-e)? Any help is appreciated (Thanks Greg for the earlier reply) -- Hari Bhaskaran To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
