A recent post in one of the Greek Linux user lists, revealed that linux UFS
support lacks a 16384 block size in the UFS filesystem support. The user
who asked thought that it was a bug of the linux kernel, and I pointed to
Sheldon's post of benchmarks/tests in -arch.
It seems that the linux kernel lacks a 16384 block size:

> ufs_read_super: bad magic number
Adding the block size, and checking that the fragment size of 4096 is also
on the list of fragment sizes solved his problems :-)))
