Mikulas,

SSD blocks are getting bigger and bigger, some drives hide it better
than others. Also look at all the efforts going on wrt. supporting
larger block sizes in the kernel.

Can you send me the output of:

# sg_vpd -p bl /dev/sdN

and maybe hdparm -I too? I'd like to see if we can come up with a
reasonable heuristic.
