  Modified files:
    sbin/newfs           mkfs.c 
  Log:
  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.
