From the manpage:-b Block size options.This option specifies the fundamental block size of the filesys- tem. The valid suboptions are: log=value and size=value; only one can be supplied. The block size is specified either as a base two logarithm value with log=, or in bytes with size=. The default value is 4096 bytes (4 KiB), the minimum is 512, and the maximum is 65536 (64 KiB). XFS on Linux currently only supportspagesize or smaller blocks. The maximum size is 64 KiB, yet it seems only up to 32 KiB is valid?
