Actually, System V doesn't define the physical block size of the
system...that is a function of the hardware which System V is
implemented upon.  System V currently supports two logical block
sizes: 512 and 1K.  If the physical block size was 1K it would
be difficult to efficiently support the 512 byte logical block
size that is still supported (with FsTYPE = 3) in most versions of
Unix System V.
