Just in case anyone ever reads this old post below and tries making a
file system with the little, lower case letter "t" below, it results
in a baffling bad block count error. The correct option is the upper
case, capital letter "T" :)
Yes, if you are creating larger files. By default e2fsck assumes the average
file size is 8kB and allocates a corresponding number of inodes there. If,
for example, you are storing lots of larger files there (digital photos, MP3s,
etc) that are in the MB range you can use "-t largefile" or "-t largefile4"
to specify an average file size of 1MB or 4MB respectively. You can also
use -i or -N (see man page) to override the default bytes-per-inode value.
This will also speed up e2fsck noticably.
