cpg = cylinders per group. It's in the man page. See tunefs (=if I recall
righ). The 'best' values for fsize and bsize depend on the kind
of files on your system (big files in general or small files). 
I think it is bet to read something about ufs. Maybe it is in the SMM
document. I don't know. Someone else will have to answer that.
