I have been working on an updated bigdisk builder image, and one thing I have noticed is that using -b4096 on the mkfs.ext2 line results in some programs being confused about the actual size of the resulting filesystem.

Eg. "df -h" on the empeg reports a much smaller than expected size. That doesn't really matter, but I wonder what else might be messed up by it?

So.. I'm dropping use of -b4096 from the new builder.
