Thanks for clarification. Should I use "-s size=4096" despite the drive
saying 512b sectors? It's a "hidden" 4K sector drive, so maybe declaring
it extra for XFS helps performance? Or does it not matter at all?

512, 512, 0 for a Western Digital D20EARS-00MVWB0 (2TB) which has 4K
sectors but obviously hides it.
