Partitions: Can I specify 512 byte blocks?

| I need a Linux partition of at least 256 MB, but need to have 512 byte
blocks. Can this be done? How does one specify block size when
creating partitions? Can the block size be changed on an existing file
system?
Thanks,

You specify the block size when creating the file system not
the partition. The ext2 fs has a minimum block size of 1k.
I don't know about other file systems
(I assume your NOT referring to the physical formated block size
of the disk. That's was fixed when the drive was low-level formated
by manufacturer.)
