The most commonly used default block size on most *nix file systems is 4 kb.
On a Linux system the actual block size can be display using the command
stat -f .Disk read and writes aligned to the block size to avoids unnecessary IO operations.
Caches and smart filesystem driver mitigates unaligned writes, but these limitations still exists.
Yes, I know - this is a very pedantic pull request.
