This filesystem presumably has lots of small files in it, so you would do the following:

1. Backup the contents of filesystem.

2. Newfs(1m) the volume using the -i option to reduce the number of bytes per inode (see: newfs(1M) – construct a UFS file system (man pages section 1M: System Administration Commands) - Sun Microsystems, (all data in the filesystem will be wiped!).

3. Restore the contents back to the reformatted filesystem.
