If you files are all going this large I imagine you should look carefully at
what you do with inodes, block and cluster sizes
However I just read the newfs man page and am intrigued to know what effect
the -g and -h options have....
-g avgfilesize
The expected average file size for the file system.
-h avgfpdir
The expected average number of files per directory on the file
system.
