So, ``it depends''. You should be able to pick a block size of 16k (with a frag size of 1k) or a smaller block size, as long as the frag size does not go below 1k. There is a small issue on directory modifications for a directory block size smaller than the physical device block size (this is really a bug in /sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_dir.c), but it should not bite you as long as you are dealing with read-only media, where insertions are unlikely. 8-).
