Product: Base System Reporter: setantae <setantae>
Component: binAssignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>

Description setantae 2001-10-01 16:20:02 UTC 
	Calling newfs with the -i option where the value passed is < 256
	causes newfs to dump core, or otherwise misbehave.

Fix: 

Create less inodes than you want by using values >= 256.
How-To-Repeat: 
< 128 :
	root@rhadamanth setantae# newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 -i64 /dev/ad2s2e
	Floating point exception (core dumped)
	root@rhadamanth setantae#

(this core dump is available if you want it)

< 256 :

	root@rhadamanth setantae# newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 -i128 /dev/ad2s2e
	/dev/ad2s2e:    65536 sectors in 16 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors
	        32.0MB in 1 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g, 0 i/g)
	super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
	 32
	fsinit: inode value out of range (2).
	root@rhadamanth setantae#
