MFC revision 1.88/1.89 [newfs safebelt for snapshot]
date: 2005/02/20 11:32:49; author: delphij; state: Exp; lines: +0 -0
When creating a new FFS file system, the block size will indirectly
affect the largest file size that is allowed by the file system.
On the other hand, when creating a snapshot, the snapshot file will
appear as it is as big as the file system itself. Hence we will not
be able to create a snapshot on large file systems with small block
sizes.
Add a warning about this, and gives some hints to correct the issue.
