[$] Filesystem support block sizes larger than the page size
Thursday February 20, 2025. 04:33 PM , from LWN.net
The maximum filesystem block size that the kernel can support has always
been limited by the host page size for Linux, even if the filesystems could handle larger block sizes. The large-block-size (LBS) patches that were merged for the 6.12 kernel removed this limitation in XFS, thereby decoupling the page size from the filesystem block size. XFS is the first filesystem to gain this support, with other filesystems likely to add LBS support in the future. In addition, the LBS patches have been used to get the initial atomic-write support into XFS.
