+ * Some things work against us when trying to choose a large local alloc:

+ * - We need to ensure our sizing is picked to leave enough space in

+ *   etc). Picking default sizes which are a multiple of 4 could help
+ *   - block groups are allocated in 2mb and 4mb chunks.

+ * - Likewise, we don't want to starve other nodes of bits on small
+ *   file systems. This can easily be taken care of by limiting our
+ *   default to a reasonable size (256M) on larger cluster sizes.
+ *
+ * - Some file systems can't support very large sizes - 4k and 8k in
+ *   particular are limited to less than 128 and 256 megabytes respectively.
