Description
I found that running the samples on windows failed on some drives with:
FASTER.core.CommitFailureException: 'Commit of address range [xxx-yyy] failed with error code 87'
Turns out that the sector size defaults to 512 if a relative path is used to initialise FasterLog local storage.
Probably unlikely in production on windows due to where most apps store data.
I tested a fix locally, let me know if I should PR it.

Research direction
Reproduce the samples on Windows using FasterLog local storage with a relative path on a 4K-sector drive. Inspect the local-storage initialization and verify that the sector size is detected correctly; done means the sample commits successfully without error code 87.
