The main issue you have with BlockSize is it's a compromise between used space per file and read/write speeds. If Blocks are large, then large files read/write faster but small files take up more space. If blocks are small, t...

The only issue with symlinks is that each file will occupy the size of one block on the SD Card (128K for SD cards larger than 32GB). Sadly, this cannot be avoided as there is a strict 1 file per block limitation and symlink files are usually less than 100 bytes.
