Thanks for sharing.

Based on the size of the filesystem I may resort to deciding the total number of inodes via -N or have less then 1 inode for every 4 blocks.
The block size has a fairly important impact on wasted space as on avarage you will waste 1/2 a block for every file on your filesystem.
Small blocks will waste less space but will perform worse for I/O, while large blosks do the exact opposite.
The default reserved space used to default to 5% which is huge on a 1TB filesystem ... I will generally specify what I think is appropriate for the fs I'm making.
Thanks again, that's almost a guide ☺

Not sure what you mean by "Required fsck" ... I don't run it after I make the fs and the "-f" flag does not make it mandatory for fsck to run during initialization.
I let that untouched from the blog I took most of what I wrote. I believe the author thinks it is a necessary step.
