btw: is there any advantage for xfs if (hypotheitcally) using
block size > page size?
On an classic block allocation based fs you will gain performance due less
fragmentation. But on xfs the files are stored in large contiguous
extents.
My guess is, that it will not make a difference, only space is wasted.
