Following Bug #1316266 the default sector size was changed from 4k to 512. Changing block size to 512 causes performance degradation on the most of equipment (HDDs and Raid Controllers). Modern HDDs usually has Advanced Formatting which means that every sector has 4k instead of 512b. Modern Controllers operates better with 4k blocks as internal operations are optimized for 4k sector size. Instead of resizing size to 512 there should be a list of hardware which has problems with XFS and 4k block (LSI SAS 2008 RAID)
