File Block Format
VMFS-6 introduces two new block sizes, referred to as small file block (SFB) and large file block (LFB).
While the SFB size can range from 64KB to 1MB for future use-cases, VMFS-6 in vSphere 6.5 is utilizing an
SFB size of 1MB only. The LFB size is set to 512MB.Reference: https://www.google.pl/url?
