[Tapioca-devel] More on block sizes

Hmm, seems we have three different sizes to worry about:

1. Chunk size -- if we are chunking the data into, say, 128K chunks
2. Record size -- we have variable sized records within those chunks.
3. Tape I/O size -- this may be anything from 512 bytes all the way to
   128K+ bytes. The only real criteria is that either chunk size is a
  multiple of this, or this is a multiple of chunk size.

Things getting complicated. How to simplify?
