Subject:   newfs -m for large filesystem

Hello,

are the remarks given for the -m option in tunefs(8) and newfs(8) still the same for very large 
filesystems, or the free-space margin might be safely reduced in these cases?

For instance, when I have a 12TB filesystem then the default 8% margin gets close to the value of 
1TB, which seems like a waste of capacity.

Thanks
Irek.
