sounds like a good approach for "simple" and "expert" modes of=20
installation. A good question is what the defaults for the simple mode=20
should be. Following Derrick's suggestions I currently use this:

-fakestat-all -stat 3000 -dcache 2500 -daemons 5 -volumes 128 -chunksize 18

My uptime is only 6 days so far. If this lasts longer than two weeks, I'll=20
call it a success ;-)
