Hi, 
 
I'm new to Linux, recently installed SUSE Ent 9 and was disappointed to 
find the max disk block size in XFS was only 4K even though 
documentation on XFS indicated it could support block size up to 64K.  I 
found a reference on you pake that indicated other block size as a 
'kernel compile option' on Intel 64 platform.  Please advise or provide 
me with a good source on how this can be accomplished.  It is of 
particular importance to my application that writes typical files above 
20GB.  Having bigger block size has made a huge performance difference 
under windows and I would like to give Linux an honest shot and 
providing comparable performance. 
 
Thanks.
