Also, since nearly every modern device device has a physical block size of
4k or more, and even when the logical block size is (emulated) 512,
performance degradation occurs with smaller filesystem blocks, 
then the savvy admin should ensure that all filesystem have a min of 
4k block size - except in special circustances.
