Interesting. What about FreeBSD's UFS (sometimes aka FFS - fast fs)? Does it not also allow for FS blocksize to be > than page size?
The block size needing to be at or smaller than the page size is a linux kernel limitation. So if FreeBSD allows it, that's probably why, they aren't using linux. Windows NTFS also has a configurable block size above 4KB, as does OS X's HFS+. Different kernels.
