This means that for > 1TB filesystems, one must use 1KB fragment size
with FFSv1, where one would use 512 bytes with FFSv2. With a lot of files,
this would mean a lot more wasted space with FFSv1. That's what I meant by
"better suited for filesystems larger than 1TB." (Also, I do not have any
such filesystem, tho this is just my theories.)

That is interesting, what restrictions were previously present?
