The newfs otion -i is:
-i number of bytes per inode
This specifies the density of inodes in the file system. The
default is to create an inode for every (4 * frag-size) bytes
of data space. If fewer inodes are desired, a larger number
should be used; to create more inodes a smaller number should
be given.
