no file will ever be larger than 1Gb I didn't need to make any adjustments to the newfs parameters.
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.
