This is where I am confused, I guess.. I'd like to be sure as I dont want to have to wipe my news spool any more times than I HAVE to :) ahhh, I see the "-f 512" is different this time, why would I create the default inodes with this fragment size? Also, IM not using SCSI, so would it be: # newfs -b 4096 (or 2000??) -f 512 /dev/wd1e for the second IDE drive?
