Indeed;

The default size is 32768 bytes, and the smallest allowable
size is 4096 bytes.

Which only raises another question in my mind. I've got an old
40G pata I use for utilitarian duties. It has a hardware limit
of 512b. Does FreeBSD then re-calculate to ensure the >=4k block
size via CHS? Or does it remain unchanged?

BTW the only point with this, was it all seemed quite simple to
compensate, or cater to a mass of small files, and as such, seemed
like a trivial nit. I just seemed like there were bigger fish to
fry. :)

Thanks for the reply.
