Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when the default was bumped up from 4096/512. This should provide significant performance improvements for most folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks. For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive: Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems The discussion ceases to be relevant when the issue of partitioning schemes is raised.
