    Specifying a byte-to-inode ratio that large is kind of silly.  I
    usually use something like -i 262144 -b 16384 -f 2048 on my larger
    filesystems.  A couple of million would also probably work, but beyond
    that you aren't really saving anything, not even fsck time.  I'm not
    surprised that 67 million doesn't work.
