hm, ok, but check again from time to time.

such a small block size is suitable for very small disk space (eg the old
floppy); on today multi-GB hdd, the resulting number of blocks is daunting:
since fs algorithms depend on #blocks, such 8x increase blow up execution
time. Moreover, addressing a single block the same size as the disk sector
size, one at a time, is overkill in terms of efficiency and wearing for the
hdd.
Hence exec times for typical operations may well skyrocket x1000 or so.
