+	 *
+	 * For SnowLeopard 10A298, a FullNetInstall with all packages selected
+	 * results in:
+	 * Catalog B-tree Header
+	 *	nodeSize:          8192
+	 *	totalNodes:       31616

+	 *	freeNodes:          958
+	 * (used = 486.52 MB)
+	 *
+	 * We also want Time Machine backup volumes to have a sufficiently
+	 * large clump size to reduce fragmentation.
+	 *
+	 * The series of numbers for Catalog and Attribute form a geometric
+	 * series. For Catalog (16GB to 512GB), each term is 8**(1/5) times
+	 * the previous term.  For Attributes (16GB to 512GB), each term is
+	 * 4**(1/5) times the previous term.  For 1TB to 16TB, each term is
+	 * 2**(1/5) times the previous term.
