1) Is it much slower to have a 4094/512 file system as opposed to 4096/1024 ?
   All I can see is that extending files a bit at a time is slower.
   Our version of disktab has some of each for comparable discs.
 
2) Why oh why is the default h partition 291346 blocks ?
   I would have expected a multiple of 16 (or even 32 !)
   One effect is that 'fsck /dev/hp2h' fails if it tries to read block 291344.
   (it worked with /dev/rhp2h! dumpfs gives:
