In August this year I made some cleanup in the GC algorithms, as they went 
into an endless GC loop, when the fs was filling up to 100%. I tried also to 
reduce blocks, 4 worked sometimes, 3 broke always. 

It depends on the filesizes you have on your fs (deleted or overwritten). But 
with 5 I was not able to break it again.
