That's megabytes, FWIW.

Yep, but really not too serious, I guess, still worth fixing though.

It's only used to try to enforce the bare minimum - in reality you'd
want more than that.

        _("        - max_mem = %lu, icount = %" PRIu64 ", imem = %" PRIu64 ", db
lock = %" PRIu64 ", dmem = %" PRIu64 "\n"),
                                max_mem, mp->m_sb.sb_icount,
                                mp->m_sb.sb_icount >> (10 - 2),
                                mp->m_sb.sb_dblocks,
                                mp->m_sb.sb_dblocks >> (10 + 1));

so yes, inodes in use count for more in the approximation.
