I belive 4096 is default on all systems, Slackware during installation asks
you what size you want to have, a one-up for slackware.
Once the filesystem is created with 4096 then i belive your stuck with it,
but thats not such a bad thing.
You can change it, but you would ( or i think i am correct in saying) you
need to remake the filesystem and doing that will cause all data to be lost.
man mke2fs
Explanes the ins and outs.
