101 If you are managing several machines, or a large number of machines,
103 is typically specified to reduce clutter.
106 file systems are sector-size agnostic, however the
108 implementation requires the sector size to be no larger than 16K.
110 file systems start at a relative offset of 0 and leave no room for
111 in-band disklabels (old, traditional BSD labels).
112 They may only be created using out-of-band disk labels, which is the
123 old style disklabels as long as
124 the partition does not overlap the label area (have a starting sector
128 file systems are designed for large storage systems, up to 1 Exabyte, and
129 may not operate efficiently on small storage systems.
130 The minimum recommended file system size is 50GB.
133 file systems operating normally, with automatic snapshots, do not
134 immediately reclaim space when files are deleted.
135 A regular system maintenance job runs once a day by
137 to handle reclamation.
140 works best when the machine's normal workload would not otherwise fill
141 the file system up in the course of 60 days of operation.

165 By default 0.1% of the root
