Block size is specified at mkfs time and typically is 4KiB. You may experience mounting problems if block size is greater than page size (i.e. 64KiB blocks on a i386 which only has 4KiB memory pages). By default a filesystem can contain 2^32 blocks; if the '64bit' -feature is enabled, then a filesystem can have 2^64 blocks. +feature is enabled, then a filesystem can have 2^64 blocks.
