Are you sure the command you're running isn't "blockdev"? I've never heard of a "blockbsz". The command blockdev --getbsz will retrieve the soft block size (logical sector size) of the block device which is a property of the device not the file system. Use dumpe2fs -h or another file system level tool if you want to find out information about the file system located on the device. E.g.: # blockdev --getbsz /dev/sda6 512 # dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda6 | grep Block dumpe2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Block count: 497980 Block size: 1024 <-- Blocks per group: 8192 > Is it related to the logical partition ? No. It's just the block size of the drive that's being reported, not the file system.
