I've also successfully used fsize == bsize (i.e. ratio 1).
But I also think that ratios other than 1 and 8 will not
work well.

Another question is whether other FS-related tools like
fsck(8) and dump(8) work well with unusual file systems.
Having FFS support for, say, 65536 byte sectors won't buy
you much if fsck can't reliably handle it.

Best regards
