George -

That is good to know.  I used to have a habit of forcing fscks after a
newfs anyway.  I'm going to hope that this is just a one time issue.
There are several new filesystems, so it may be the case that I'll just
see them all go through this.

My first reaction was that the default bytes per inode was too large,  
but
of course after fscking that didn't make any fscking sense.
