How to find out block size of database?

Hi people,

I am doing sizing for shared storage and virtualization for database, and I am asked by my vendor "What's the block size of the DB"?

I tried searching but came out with no answers.
It was suggested to me that the default block size is 4096 for most MYSQL, but I wanted to be sure.

Under show variables, I see the following fields which I "THINK" could be the value that I need, but I am not sure.

1) key_cache_block_size (1024)
2) transaction_alloc_block_size (8192)
3) transaction_prealloc_size (4096)

Values in the bracket are the values of the dB servers.

This is asked so that they can calculate the IOPS for the application (MySQL in this case).

Many thankks!
