8K is to be understood instead of the usual 4K as page size (smallest read- and
writeable entity). Eric: I doubt that anyone would file a bug report on it as
the only effect of using a wrong fs block size will be degraded performance and
a shortened lifetime of the SSD (nobody would in deed find out about it who
hasn`t tried it with 8KB block size or heard about disks with page size != 4K).
Feel free to care about it whenever you want as we do not have any users
requiring it yet (to me for myself this isn`t any issue since I don`t plan to
use the besaid disk at the time).
