All,

A colleague and I have been having a discussion about using the newfs
b-mb
option (AKA make_ufs bo free). In the past (on at least HPUX) using b-m
0b could lead to rather interesting results if the file system really goes
to 100%. I was told (more years ago than I want to think about) that b-m
1b is the lowest you should use. Using b-m 0b does create a bit larger
file system. What is a best practice for this?
