Description
Currently it seems that the block size in fdb is hard-coded at 4KiB. This is problematic for a bunch of users:
- ZFS has a default block size of 128KiB
- EBS will be potentially [much cheaper](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-io-characteristics.html) with larger blocks.It seems something like 32KiB might be a good value there.
We should introduce an option to change the page size so that we can test with different sizes
