Re: Block size of filesystem

[Iñigo Medina García]

I'm seeing that architecture has almost allways the limit in 4 kb (block
size -> page). Theoretically architecture of 64 bits would offer up to 8
kb, but it seems to be that it usually has 4 kb too because of
compatibiliry issues with its i386 ancestors.

Any idea about that? We run Intel Core 2 Duo on kernel 2.6.21-1 and i386
by now. Do you think it could be better to change the architecture in
order to get the advantages of 8 kb blocks size?
