This can be tested with this script:

|
|
|
for i in $(seq 0 10); do
|
|
bs=$((1024*2**$i))
|
|
printf "%7s=" $bs

Note that this is to minimize system call overhead.
|
|
Other values may be appropriate to minimize file system
|
|
or disk overhead. For example on my current GNU/Linux system
|
|
the readahead setting is 128KiB which was read using:
|
|
|
|
file="."
|
|
device=$(df --output=source --local "$file" | tail -n1)
|
|
echo $(( $(blockdev --getra $device) * 512 ))
|
|
|
|
However there isn't a portable way to get the above.
|
|
In the future we could use the above method if available
|
|
and default to io_blksize() if not.
