What's the recommended way to reduce the number of cylinder groups a bit?
-c's maximum limit is affected by combinations of -b and -i, possibly some
others. PHK was talking about new, more sensible values for filesystem
parameters, but I don't know what happened. I just think it's a bit silly
to go generating hundreds of cg's for a 34GB unit... and this _with_ the
max -c setting of 26 (for this fs).
/dev/vinum/rn8: 63700992 sectors in 15552 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors
31104.0MB in 599 cyl groups (26 c/g, 52.00MB/g, 256 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
32, 106528, 213024, 319520, 426016, 532512, 639008, 745504, 852000, 958496,
