Darrell Landrum, Hi, for Ufs and VXFS, It should be 8k in most case. Use df -g, fstyp to verify the blocksize. Also from the man newfs:
-b bsize The logical block size of the file sys- tem in bytes (either 4096 or 8192). The default is 8192. The sun4u architecture does not support the 4096 block size. -f fragsize The smallest amount of disk space in bytes to allocate to a file. The values must be a power of two selected from the range 512 to the logical block size. If logical block size is 4096, legal values are 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096; if logical block size is 8192, 8192 is also a legal value. The default is 1024.
