Hi John,

Along with rtvol check, we can also have a simple check to see if the 
FS blocksize itself is big enough to satisfy the atomic requirements.
For eg on machines with 64K page, we can have say 16k or 64k block sizes
which should be able to provide required allocation behavior for atomic
writes. In such cases we don't need rtvol.
