Hi,

When building a filesystem (FFS) on these 1/2/3/4TB external USB
drives, any suggestions?  E.g., changing block sizes?  Cut into
multiple slices to make fsck's job easier (as well as *recovery*)?

Any other pointers?

[Note that I'm not looking for "performance" -- otherwise I wouldn't
be going the external route -- but, rather, "bulk, semi-offline
storage"]

Thx,
--don
