Which is the maximum size of a file system in RSX (well, support for 32-bit block numbers do exist, but is not enabled normally, so 24 bit block numbers is the normal limit). And 512 bytes is the standard size of a disk block even on a new disk today (although 2K and 4K blocks have started to show up, but even those disks still support 512 byte blocks).
