Hi,

The system in question (3.3-stable) needs to use a large FS (ca. 40GB).
The defaults for such filesystem are ridiculous, given that it will hold
at most couple of hundred big data files. So, my question is:

* should I change the cpg (default 16) to some bigger value?
* is it safe to run production system with non-standard block and fragment
size (e.g. 32768 and 4096)?
* what maximum value can I use for -i (bytes per inode) parmeter? I
aalready tried 16mln ...
* and finally, how th above choices affect the FS performance in my case?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
