A. Yes. DiskShare reports disk cluster size as the file system block size. Most clients use this figure to determine read, write, and read directory buffer sizes. The larger this number, up to the NFS-defined restriction of 8192 byes, the better. On NTFS file systems, cluster size is the same as sector size. On FAT file systems, cluster size is obtained by multiplying the sector size by the number of sectors per cluster.
