Description
As per our chat, sysfs-block would be useful as an optional module to learn more about the underlying block devices.
Documentation at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block
/sys/block/<disk>/queue/logical_block_size is a hard requirement as the defintion of "block" in this sysfs and for Linux as a whole comes from there

Research direction
Start with the Linux sysfs-block ABI documentation and the /sys/block/<disk>/queue/logical_block_size path described in the issue. Trace how node_exporter implements its existing optional modules and their tests, then define completion as a working sysfs-block module that exposes the requested block-device information while treating logical_block_size as required.
