This begs the question of 'what is a sufficient count of inodes?"

It is well-known that the required 'inode densidy' depends on the usage
of the filesystem.

Newfs uses defaults that are 'reasonable' for 'typical' use, and are
rarely insuficient.

*IF*, however, you know you will be creating lots of 'tiny' files on a
particular filesystem, it is a GOOD IDEAT(tm) to use non-default settings.

"Read the fine manpage" applies. along with 'know your useage'.
