  22 /* As of Feb 2024, 256KiB is determined to be the best blksize
  23    to minimize system call overhead across most systems.
  24    This can be tested with this script:
  25 
  26    for i in $(seq 0 10); do
  27      bs=$((1024*2**$i))
  28      printf "%7s=" $bs
  29      timeout --foreground -sINT 2 \
  30        dd bs=$bs if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null 2>&1 \
  31          | sed -n 's/.* \([0-9.]* [GM]B\/s\)/\1/p'
  32    done

  63    Note that this is to minimize system call overhead.
  64    Other values may be appropriate to minimize file system
  65    or disk overhead.  For example on my current GNU/Linux system
  66    the readahead setting is 128KiB which was read using:
  67 
  68    file="."
  69    device=$(df --output=source --local "$file" | tail -n1)
  70    echo $(( $(blockdev --getra $device) * 512 ))
  71 
  72    However there isn't a portable way to get the above.
  73    In the future we could use the above method if available
  74    and default to io_blksize() if not.
