How are people supposed to set the block and fragment sizes in the NetBSD
installer? If it's still possible, it certainly isn't easy to find.
Is it usefull anywhere?
I removed it, thinking noone would care. If there is use for it, I'll re-add
it to the partition details menu:
It would go before "mount options" and only be available for FFS.
But is it really needed?
I often use small USB sticks, small virtual machine images, SD cards and
the like which end up sometimes having not enough inodes for a pkgsrc tree
even when there's plenty of space. If the defaults worked well enough, for
instance, for a 1 gig image, then it'd be nice to not need to think about,
but right now the defaults for a 1 gig image give:
/dev/rvnd0a: 1024.0MB (2097152 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048
using 6 cylinder groups of 170.67MB, 10923 blks, 21504 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
32, 349568, 699104, 1048640, 1398176, 1747712,
So the options would be nice :)
Thanks!
