Thanks,

I will try that disk setup to see how it goes.

I think so. The problem was running out of empty blocks, so having 4k
instead of 8k blocks should help. Maybe :-) When I hit this problem I
just ended up gzipping and deleting files to make enough space - it was
a warehouse of radius logs.

So this is a bit of an experiment... and maybe you will just have to
live with a degree of space wastage, and buy bigger disks.

Cheers,

Brian.
