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.

As workaroung you can tar the files together. But only if the files are no more accessed, like old logfile... (eg. tar cvf /bla/bla/logs/logs.tar /bla/bla/logs/*)
