# newfs /dev/rsd0a
Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (144) >= data blocks (132) in last
    cylinder group. This implies 2120 sector(s) cannot be allocated.
/dev/rsd0a:     203520 sectors in 96 cylinders of 10 tracks, 212 sectors
        99.4MB in 6 cyl groups (16 c/g, 16.56MB/g, 3584 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:

#        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]

Normally at times like these, I increase fsize/bsize until the warning goes
away, but I don't understand exactly what I am doing... If I have 132 data
blocks at 8192 bytes each, I use 2112 sectors, so 8 sectors are left for
?inodes? ?fragmentation? 8 is less than 1 per track (10 tracks)? What should
I be doing?

Cheers,
