We have also recently added a swallow 5 to our sequent configuration. The work
we are using the new disk for is somewhat indoe hungry (lots of symlinks) so
I made the filesystem using:

	mkfs -b 4096 -f 512 -c 4 -i 2048 zd8c zdswallow5

and ended up with a better inode <-> disk block ratio than on the standard
swallow. I guess -c 6 will be more what you are looking for though.
