On FreeBSD, users can use tunefs command for tuning some filesystem parameters, but tunefs can't increase number of inodes.
I think you can increase inodes by using newfs -i 2048 option, but it will initialize the filesystem. So you need to evacuate your whole data from the disk, unfortunately.
>>437 Hmm, sorry, I am not sure that FreeBSD 6.2R has the way to colve it or not. But I've read the manuals briefly on my servers running FreeBSD 6.3-RC1 and 7.0-RC1... And I can't find the solution still...
>>441 Ah, I understand what you concerned. Do you worry about the density of the server increasing for BBSPINK bbs, perhaps?
If so, I believe that the worry is not necessary.
We, including Fox and I, have been operated many 2ch BBS servers for over 5 years. And in the current 2ch tbanana servers, there are high-capacity servers.
Always I and some good 2ch volunteers check the current board placements, and almost of all tbanana servers are well-tuned.
You can see the current servers' and boards' placement information in my webpage: http://mumumu.mu/serverlist.html It includes bbspink servers/boards information, too.
And we've operated 1T HDD server, named oyster902 with Suma for over 4 years. And its /home HDD is almost full, but the usage of inodes is only 19%, as seen below:
