Give a scenario where choosing a large filesystem block size might be a benefit; give an
example where it might be a hinderance
Answer:
-Large file system block sizes are a help (where performance is concerned) when the files in question are very large, and contiguous reading/writing is prevalent. For example, multimedia files. A large file system block size, unfortunately, wastes a lot of space if your file system largely consists of small sized files.
-Random access to small segments of data require loading entire blocks of data, even though you only need a small amount of it.
