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)
