+       help
+         By default Squashfs sets the dev block size (sb_min_blocksize)
+         to 1K or the smallest block size supported by the block device
+         (if larger).  This, because blocks are packed together and
+         unaligned in Squashfs, should reduce latency.
+
+         This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where
+         the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support
+         smaller block sizes).
+
+         Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O
+         performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential
+         accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.
+
+         Setting this option will force Squashfs to use a 4K device block
+         size by default.
+
+         If unsure, say N.
