According to Peter Wemm:

Well, all my machines use 16k/2k for all filesystems now and I've never got
any problem with that. It wastes a bit more space since fragments are now
twice as big but that's about it.

Like 8k/1k for <1GB and 16k/2k for >1GB ? Can be done I think. I'll have a
look at that but bde has probably already written that patch years ago :-)
