.It Fl i Ar number of bytes per inode
This specifies the density of inodes in the file system.
! The default is to create an inode for each 2048 bytes of data space.
If fewer inodes are desired, a larger number should be used;
to create more inodes a smaller number should be given.

The file system can either be instructed to try to minimize the time spent
allocating blocks, or to try to minimize the space fragmentation on the disk.
! If the value of minfree (see above) is less than 10%,
the default is to optimize for space;
! if the value of minfree is greater than or equal to 10%,
the default is to optimize for time.
