From 1e76e5778a1885452939a79d9145b80634a5b023 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Andreas Bombe <aeb@debian.org>

Subject: [PATCH] mkfs: Default to 64/32 heads/sectors for targets smaller than
512 MB
This may put defaults in certain use cases a little bit more in line
with the old defaults in versions up to 3.0.28. It has mostly aesthetic
value in most cases.
