One question: where is it going to *get* the average file size?
(Specifying it with an option makes it essentially the same as -i.)
In general, one inode per 2K is way too much (try one per 4K for
a default), but you are a *lot* better off with too many inodes
than too few. And (believe it or not) I managed to run out at
one/2K---I put /usr/spool/news on its own RK07 over at eneevax,
and it ran out of inodes. I remade the file system with one inode
per 1K data....
