Thanks kp.
Now I understand what Andrew meant! -r refers to the number of directory
entries permitted (like inodes, I guess). From the man page:
-r root-dir-entries
Select the number of entries available in the root directory.
The default is 112 or 224 for floppies and 512 for hard disks.
From memory I would have expected 512 to be sufficient, but maybe not…
