Ing. Telematica Lines: 16 Message-ID: <4ll82u$9jj@sanson.dit.upm.es> NNTP-Posting-Host: gaudi.diatel.upm.es Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Another two separate questions: 1) I remember that in FreeBSD 2.0R quotas were reported to be somehow broken. Is it still true of 2.1R or later versions? (I think I haven't seen any warning about using quotas, so I guess they are ok, but I just want to confirm it.) 2) I store my news database in /var/news. Currently, that's a standard 8K per block filesystem, so I have a lot of internal fragmentation, and run out of inodes with a lot of space still unused. So, I plan to recreate the /var filesystem using 4K per block. However, I also remember that a lot of time ago there were reports of problems under FreeBSD if you mixed 4K and 8K filesystems. Is that still true? Thanks in advance.
