Note that this is to minimize system call overhead.
Other values may be appropriate to minimize file system
overhead. For example on my current GNU/Linux system
the readahead setting is 128KiB which was read using:
file="."
device=$(df --output=source --local "$file" | tail -n1)
echo $(( $(blockdev --getra $device) * 512 ))
However there isn't a portable way to get the above.
In the future we could use the above method if available
and default to io_blksize() if not.

ZFS sometimes understates the blocksize, because it thinks

This misinformation can cause coreutils to use wrong-sized blocks.
