Is there a tool for finding the perfect blocksize for a file system? At the 
moment I use Filelight but that only gives me the average size. 

How do you choose the blocksize in general?

By the way: On a partition without many write operations, for example /usr, 
does Reiserfs' tailpacking still cost performance?

Thanks in advance!
