Hi all,
We have an 4GB disk that will hold the Usenet News, and it will go in
an 2000/300 with DU 3.0.
I have read that, by the nature of news (many little files), it is
suggested that the file system is 1K block size.
Well, the man pages says that I have to issue the '-b' option along with
the blok size in bytes, but I don't know how I have to say the size-number,
I have tried almost all of the cases:
newfs -b 1024B /dev/rz3a
newfs -b 1024b /dev/rz3a
newfs -b 1024 /dev/rz3a
newfs -b 1k /dev/rz3a
newfs -b 1kb /dev/rz3a
newfs -b 1K /dev/rz3a
newfs -b 1KB /dev/rz3a
and got always:
newfs: ____ bad block size
Nevertheless, 'newfs -b 8192|4096 /dev/...' works fine :(
In the other hand, the man pages of newfs say:
[ ... ]
-b block-size The block size of the file system in bytes.
Note that the block size is fixed at 8KB.
[ ... ]
This means that I can't make a 1k block-size file system,
or, simply, I don't specify the right block-number?
Saludos,
Ginés Bravo
