[Box Backup] Block size

How do I find out the blocksize for the server config?

/etc/box/raidfile.conf

/usr/local/bin/raidfile-config /etc/box 2048 /raid/0.0 /raid/0.1 /raid/0.2

But adjust it for your system. 2048 is the block size. Under BSD with 
FFS, set this to your filing system's fragment size (most likely an 8th 
of the block size), otherwise the block size of the filing system, for 
maximum efficiency.


I am using OpenBSD but I'm not sure anymore what blocksize it has on the 
disk. So this is quite a simple thing but how do I find out this filing 
system's fragment size (and if it is an 8th of the blocksize how do I 
find out that?)

Thanks for answering even stupid questions like mine but this backup app 
seems the onlyone that does almost everything I need.
