(following up on something mentioned off the list)

When you do this change please consider *not* making the code fallback
to a different blocksize if the ioctl fails when "-s size=" is given.

The logic here is that if someone clearly wants a specific value and
if that cannot be met it should error out with a suitable message, not
silently do something else.
