  MFC revision 1.88/1.89 [newfs safebelt for snapshot]
  date: 2005/02/20 11:32:49;  author: delphij;  state: Exp;  lines: +0 -0
    When creating a new FFS file system, the block size will indirectly
    affect the largest file size that is allowed by the file system.
    On the other hand, when creating a snapshot, the snapshot file will
    appear as it is as big as the file system itself.  Hence we will not
    be able to create a snapshot on large file systems with small block
    sizes.
  
    Add a warning about this, and gives some hints to correct the issue.
