hi. i've got a lot of memory on one of my systems, so i want to put up a 1GB
memory file system.

if i put this line in /etc/fstab

	swap /big mfs rw,-s=1g 0 0

then when i mount it, i get:
    
    # mount /big
    Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (141) >= data blocks (29) in last
        cylinder group. This implies 470 sector(s) cannot be allocated.

and i get a file system with about 124MB, e.g.,
    
    # df -k /big
    Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
    mfs:13118      127495        1    121119     0%    /big

so, what am i doing wrong?
