MAXBSIZE on VAX



Hi,

I tried to newfs a 230 gig partition on a VAXstation running netbsd-6:

# newfs -O 2 /dev/rsd0a
block size 32768 is too large, maximum is 16384
# newfs -O 2 -b 32768 -f 4096 /dev/rsd0a
newfs: block size `32768' (32768) is greater than the maximum (16384).

Is there any good reason why MAXBSIZE is still defined as 16384 on VAX in sys/arch/vax/include/param.h? I might not be able to boot off of a filesystem with 32k block size, but I should be able to mount and use it otherwise, no?

John
