That is the volume manager, but you probably mean VXFS? A fragment size equal to the block size makes sense for (cooked) database applications (especially if it is equal to the database block size) or for other applications where you mainly have large files. With lots of small files you are wasting space and a smaller fragment size would be more likely be the way to go.
Your root VG does not have a block size. Perhaps you mean that every VXFS filesystem in every LV in your root VG has a 8KB fragment size? That would not seem like a logical choice to me..

Hello,
in one default UFS filesystem we have 8K block size (bsize) and 1K fragmentsize (fsize). At this scenary I thought all "FileSytem IO" will be 8K (or greater) but never smaller than the fragment size (1K). If a UFS fragment/blocksize is allwasy several ADJACENTS sectors on disk (in a ... (4 Replies)

size(9P) Kernel Properties for Drivers size(9P)
NAME
size, Nblock, blksize, device-nblocks, device-blksize - device size properties
DESCRIPTION
A driver can communicate size information to the system by the values associated with following properties. Size information falls into two
categories: device size associated with a dev_info_t node, and minor node size associated with a ddi_create_minor_node(9F) dev_t (parti-
tion).
device size property names:
device-nblocks An int64_t property representing device size in device-blksizeblocks.
device-blksize An integer property representing the size in bytes of a block. If defined, the value must be a power of two. If not
defined, DEV_BSIZE is implied.
minor size property names:
Size An int64_t property representing the size in bytes of a character minor device (S_IFCHR spec_type in ddi_create_minor_node).
Nblocks An int64_t property representing the number blocks, in device-blksize units, of a block minor device (S_IFBLK spec_type in
ddi_create_minor_node).
blksize An integer property representing the size in bytes of a block. If defined, the value must be a power of two. If not defined,
DEV_BSIZE is implied.
A driver that implements both block and character minor device nodes should support both "Size" and "Nblocks". Typically, the following is
true: Size = Nblocks * blksize.
A driver where all ddi_create_minor_node(9F) calls for a given instance are associated with the same physical block device should implement
"device-nblocks". If the device has a fixed block size with a value other than DEV_BSIZE then "device-blksize" should be implemented.
The driver is responsible for ensuring that property values are updated when device, media, or partition sizes change. For each represented
item, if its size is know to be zero, the property value should be zero. If its size is unknown, the property should not be defined.
A driver may choose to implement size properties within its prop_op(9E) implementation. This reduces system memory since no space is used
to store the properties.
The DDI property interfaces deal in signed numbers. All Size(9P) values should be considered unsigned. It is the responsibility of the code
dealing with the property value to ensure that an unsigned interpretation occurs.
