I have a problem with my BSDI 2.0.1 box rebooting on me but INN is causing
it.  It doesn't take two hours, now it is down to 10 mins between reboots.
I thought there was no messages until I was sitting on the console when it
happended here is the message:

panic getblk straysize

What does this mean.  Something that might be the cause of it is I am having
problems with my disk when I run fsck I get something like
can't alloc 593986 bytes for lncntp
and can't alloc 7798785 bytes for typemap on the other disk
when I set these up I used newfs -i 512 /dev/sd2a ... since they are news
disk I was running out of inodes if I didn't.  Now I have plenty of inodes but
can't fsck,  am I useing newfs wrong?

Any help would be great as I need to get this thing running again.
