You can't really say "there's an inode every 32kb" when you aren't told what filesystem is used.
For cluster sizes, you probably aren't off the mark. The number of inodes you will need is 1TB divided by 10MB.
The little filesystem is the opposite extreme, no point using clusters larger than the minimum.

mbadblocks
mbadblocks(1) General Commands Manual mbadblocks(1)
Name
mbadblocks - tests a floppy disk, and marks the bad blocks in the FAT
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
end of this man page for details.
Description
The mbadblocks command is used to mark some clusters on an MS-DOS filesystem bad. It has the following syntax:
mbadblocks [-s sectorlist|-c clusterlist|-w] drive:
If no command line flags are supplied, Mbadblocks scans an MS-DOS filesystem for bad blocks by simply trying to read them and flag them if
read fails. All blocks that are unused are scanned, and if detected bad are marked as such in the FAT.
This command is intended to be used right after mformat. It is not intended to salvage data from bad disks.
Command line options
c file
Use a list of bad clusters, rather than scanning for bad clusters itself.
s file
Use a list of bad sectors (counted from beginning of filesystem), rather than trying for bad clusters itself.
w Write a random pattern to each cluster, then read it back and flag cluster as bad if mismatch. Only free clusters are tested in such
a way, so any file data is preserved.
Bugs
Mbadblocks should (but doesn't yet :-( ) also try to salvage bad blocks which are in use by reading them repeatedly, and then mark them
bad.

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you
to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
