Short of inodes in a Netra

Looks like the filesystem must be treated as a normal ufs

filesystems. That means, the answer is dump/newfs/restore.

(which means, forget the WWW interface)

Casper also pointed out the likely culprit for the misconfiguration:

Indeed, there was a discrepancy between the reports of du, mkfs -m and

quota, and the patch helped.

Right now, I am waiting for the new 1.2 release, before newfs.
