Greetings!
    I'm trying to sort through the effects of all the 497
different switches you can pass to newfs  :-(  I suspect that
there are lots of particular combinations that will "work" for 
a given partition, geometry, etc.  But, what are the tradeoffs
among the b, f, u, t, c, etc. switches?
    Thanks!
