I tested 1TB filesystems with varying block and fragment sizes, and it
is really nice to see the speedup of newfs anf fsck.
Thank you for your response but could you tell me some
examples I could try because I've no idea what kind of values
to test with newfs?
I already tried `newfs -b 65536 -f 8192 -o time` but I didn't notice
any speed improvement with `time fsck`.
