[Oberon] Partitions.Show detail ~, Partitions.ShowAosFSLimits ~ and block size.

[peasthope at shaw.ca]

I'm interested in these questions about block size, primarily 
for relevance to flash storage.

Partitions.Show detail ~ 
  ...
Disk: IDE1, 497MB = 1018080 * 512, removable, CHS: 1010*16*63, SAMSUNG CF/ATA, mntcnt=1
  ...
suggests a block size of 512 bytes.

Partitions.ShowAosFSLimits ~ 
Aos file system limits with 4096 byte sectors
  ...
suggests a block size of 4096 bytes, or might simply mean 
"If the block size is 4096 bytes, then these are the file system limits."

Partitions.Mod has 
	BS = 512;
  ...
	N2KSS = 2048;

A block size of 512 seems fairly definite.

What is N2KSS?
Any ideas why ShowAosFSLimits mentions 4096 bytes?

ProjectOberon.pdf doesn't mention N2KSS.

Thanks,                   ... Peter E.
