 Don't assume.  Say that the default is 4 times the fragment size.
 
 I changed the default to 2048 bytes in my version of newfs, but I
 now think that 4 fragments is better - 2048 is usually too small,
 and doesn't scale properly (for fragments larger than 4096, it would
 give more inodes than possible files).
