@ssolie
512 is recommended for a reason. Feel free to ignore me but I'll listen to the guy who wrote the code.
It is possible to send some kind of "reqest" to make changes in mediatoolbox, to put 512 by default, and not 1024 ?

I'm not ignoring you - but I assume the same guy wrote the SFS FAQ, the readme and (maybe) contributed to the *ide_dev.docs. So for as a user like me it is a least puzzling. Sigh.

JXFS doesn't work at all with anything other than 512 byte block size (partition won't mount)

Additional info for this thread:

FFS and SFS\00 are 32-bit filesystems, and therefore have a file size limit of 4GB (or is it 2GB?)
SFS\02 and JXFS are 64-bit filesystems and have a much larger file size limit
