Otherwise XFS will try to save all of its inodes in the first 1TB of space, and with so many inodes needed, you may run out more quickly than you anticipate. Then you'll have "no space left on device" errors when df reports plenty of space (at least till you do df -i; actually I'm not 100% sure df -i will show it). --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
