From 1e71f50108a810ff64ab294e5721da942fce9254 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sheldonh Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 17:01:17 +0000 Subject: Correct the example introduced in rev 1.29, which suggested a block:frag size ratio other than 8:1. Currently, we only recommend an 8:1 ratio, because the impact of others ratios has not been adequately investigated. Also, do not recommend the use of the -c option in the example, since newfs now automatically calculates the best cyl:cylgrp ratio. This change was discussed with the author of rev 1.29. --- sbin/newfs/newfs.8 | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'sbin/newfs/newfs.8') diff --git a/sbin/newfs/newfs.8 b/sbin/newfs/newfs.8 index 9829128..c19cc6f 100644 --- a/sbin/newfs/newfs.8 +++ b/sbin/newfs/newfs.8 @@ -271,14 +271,14 @@ This option is of historical importance only.
