-nojumbo is a fileserver option rather than a cache manager option.

I see no sign of it in the source code.

I'm not sure if it always makes sense to make it equal to the number of
partitions.  It should be at least equal to the number of separate
spindles, since volume attaching is an I/O-intensive operation, I think.
If you have a bunch of partitions on the same disk, it's not clear to me
that increasing this will help.

It's very similar to the salvager option.
