You should consider using "newfs -i 65536" for partitions to be used for
postgresql. You will get more usable space and will still have lots of free
inodes.

For my next postgresql server I am likely going to do "newfs -i 262144"

On my current primary DB I have 2049 inodes in use and 3,539,389 free.
That was with newfs -i 65536.
