One question, related to my earlier statement about XFS block size. My
statement:

"You can trade off file capacity for performance (or vice versa) by
adjusting the block size. Larger block size can provide better
performance at the cost of storage. (Though, unfortunately, it would
seem that under Linux block size cannot be larger than the system page
size.)

Is Linux page size something adjustable? (I'm talking about the value
you get when you run "getconf PAGESIZE")
