I haven't test all mkfs.* but...
mkfs.xfs just works with 1M physical_block_size.
mkfs.ext4 won't by default but -F "fixes" that:
# mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -F /dev/mapper/20017380023360006
mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Warning: specified blocksize 4096 is less than device physical sectorsize 1048576, forced to continue
...
I'll check fdisk and parted tomorrow (I know lvm2 doesn't look at
physical_block_size).
