I tried reducing the block size in my file systems (so that I could reduce
the #cyl/group, so that I could get more inodes).  Whenever I ran a binary
out of the partition in question the system printed a disturbing message
to the effect that paging was disabled because of the small block size.
You might want to consider this before rebuilding all of your partitions.
