691 kilobytes are reserved. This option decreases the size of the file system being created. This option cannot be
used if the file-system size is also specified using (see options below).

The following additional command-line options can be used to override default parameters passed to
File system block size in bytes. The default value is
1024 bytes for systems smaller than two terabytes. For Version 5 disk layout file systems larger than two terabytes,
the maximum file system size is dependent on the block size. A four terabyte file system requires a 1K block size,
An eight terabyte file system requires a 2K block size, a 16 TB file system requires a 4K block size, and a 32 TB
file system requires an 8K block size.
Valid only for the Version 4 and 5 disk layouts.
This option controls the largefiles flag for the file system. If is specified, the bit is set and files two giga-
bytes or larger can be created. If is specified, the bit is cleared and files created on the files system are lim-
ited to less than two gigabytes. The default is See mkfs_vxfs(1M), mount_vxfs(1M), and fsadm_vxfs(1M).
File system size in
blocks (defined in The default value is the size of the entire disk or disk section, minus any swap or boot space
requested. The size specifies the number of sectors in the file system. By default, size is specified in units of
sectors. However, you can append a suffix to size to indicate another unit of measure. Append or to indicate that
the value is in kilobytes, or to indicate megabytes, or or to indicate gigabytes.
