We currently support block sizes from
.Em 512B No to Em 16MB .
The benefits of larger blocks, and thus larger I/O,
need to be weighed against the cost of COWing a giant block to modify one byte.
Additionally, very large blocks can have an impact on I/O latency,
and also potentially on the memory allocator.
-Therefore, we do not allow the recordsize to be set larger than this tunable.
-Larger blocks can be created by changing it,
+Therefore, we formerly forbade creating blocks larger than 1M.
+Larger blocks could be created by changing it,
and pools with larger blocks can always be imported and used,
regardless of this setting.
