Mounting a temporary filesystem

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to mount a certain part of my filesystem as a temporary file
system to improve performance. I'm running a Mail gateway server, with
FreeBSD 4.9, Sendmail 8.12.11, MailScanner, ClamAV and spamassassin.
I have a incoming mail queue directory that I wanted to mount as a temp
file system to improve performance. The specific directory is
/var/spool/mqueue.in
I flipped through the man pages and came up with this command:
mount -t mfs -o -s1048576 /dev/da0s1b /var/spool/mqueue.in/
But when I initiate the command, I see this:
mailmg# mount -t mfs -o -s1048576 /dev/da0s1b /var/spool/mqueue.in/
Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group to 89.
Did I count wrong or something? I cant seem to figure that one out. I tried
changing the size of the temp fs, but still receive the same error.
Anyone have any ideas?
I appreciate it.
Jason
