We use mostly disks of 65520 cylinders. Bigger than that and you can't make them non fullpack minidisks and we don't want any guests using cyl 0 (label).

We currently use Mod-3, 9, 27, and 54 definitions and would like to know what is a useful very large size in the real world for large, less-heavily-used devices.
