recommendations for metadata settings for large Coda fs?

[Josh Nichols]

I am trying to use Coda for a large filesystem (53gb). Following the 
suggestion of the HOWTO would mean I should have a meta partition of 
approximately 2.1gb. Unfortunately, this is a far cry from the options 
available during vice-setup.

So I tried playing with rdsinit, and have been completely at a loss 
since then. To start off, when asked for lengh of the partition, I 
couldn't for the life of me determine what units it wanted. I tried 
doing it in kilobytes, but when rdsinit showed what I had input, it 
showed a negative number... Beyond that, I was at a complete of what to 
do with any of the other settings.

If someone could suggest some rdsinit parameters, or some other 
solution, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
