RTFM!

PFS3 partitions should have at least 100 buffers. Recommended is to use between
200 and 300, using larger values for larger partitions. If the partition
contains large directories (more than 2000 files), use 350 to 500 buffers.

PFS3 has a build in sanity check ensuring the number of buffers is between
70 and 600. Below 70 buffers PFS3 cannot function properly and above 600 the
overhead of maintaining the cache would become a problem.

Each buffer in the cache is 1024 byte (1K), independent of blocksize.
