- Yup,
- The inode density is also calculated in reference to the number of
- tracks/cylinder (I think that's right). Anyway, I had a look at what mkfs.ffs
- churned out for '-t'. This was 27, so to get 3 times the inodes, I changed the
- number to 9. ie:
- /etc/newfs.ffs -v -i 128 -t 9 -s size disk
