+Ensure "small" file systems also have the default inode size (256 bytes) so that
+can store 64-bit timestamps and work past 2038.
+
+The "small" type is any size >3MB and <512MB, which covers a lot of relatively
+small filesystems built by OE, especially when they're sized to fit the contents
+and expand to the storage on boot.
