What if you turned the knob all the way down and had just one
cylinder group? I assume that newfs would need to be fixed to
allow this, but would anything break?
The current limits are also wasteful for normal read/write
filesystems with large files. Too many cylinder groups, too many
inodes, block/frag size too small, etc...
