We have STK devices.  But I still worry about proper blocking of files and
try to impart that knowledge to my users when I can because it will still
effect virtual space. An example...

FBA 133     BLKSIZE=133       574 CYLs used
FBA 133     BLKSIZE=1330      148 CYLs used
FBA 133     BLKSIZE=13300     104 CYLs used
FBA 133     BLKSIZE=0(27930)  99 CYLs used

So while each of these files used the same amount of physical space, they
certainly used different amounts of virtual space.   So far, I have had to
manage to my virtual volume limit before I have to manage to my physical
space limit.  Just a function of device limits and how I have it set up.
