20 -b bucket-size
21 Specifies the bucket size. Allocation is done in terms of buck‐
22 ets, and cache hits are counted per bucket; thus a smaller
23 bucket size will give better cache utilization, but poorer write
24 performance. The bucket size is intended to be equal to the size
25 of your SSD's erase blocks, which seems to be 128k-512k for most
26 SSDs. Must be a power of two; accepts human readable units.
27 Defaults to 128k.
