Yeah, that might work for all intent and purposes but we'll get someone
who mounted with cache=0x3 next... :)

No strong feeling either way but I think a 5/4 would be better to

definietly appreciate if you could do it (and I'll just have to make
time to test at the end!)

Thanks for checking as well!
