Re: fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 94208 bytes for inoinfo

You can also reduce fsck time by reducing the number of cylinder
groups on the disk. I usually max them out (-c 999 and newfs then
sets it to the maximum, usually in the 50-80 range). This will
improve performance but not reduce the memory required.

Note that this advice is relevant for UFS1 only. In UFS2, '-c'
specifies the cylinder group size in _BLOCKS_ not cylinders and
defaults to the maximum size for the given blocksize and IPG etc.

an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
