A PS4 Pro (firmware 10.71) reports st_blksize 0x10000 from stat and fstat
for /app0, its subdirectories and the system library directory. Titles
size one getdents buffer from it: CUSA18659's CryPak reads st_blksize +
264 bytes once, so the 512 reported here cut its shader directory listing
short. Directories, app0.zar ones included, now report 0x10000; /data
directories (0x8000 on the console) and files are recorded as debt.

Measured on firmware 13.60: submits take 1 to 128 requests at priority
1 to 3, the id lists of poll, wait, cancel and delete take 1 to 128 ids,
wait takes mode 1 or 2, and sceKernelAioSetParam takes a window and a
delayed count of 0 to 128, a split flag of 0 or 1 and, with split on,
split and chunk sizes of 1 to 0x1000000; everything else returns EINVAL
without writing. sceKernelAioInitializeParam writes the console's three
default scheduling structs.

flock, fstatfs, ftruncate, fsync, fdatasync, getdirentries, fchmod, futimes and mmap on an archived descriptor acted on its null device and succeeded or failed with an unrelated errno. They now throw NotImplemented, each covered by the kernel archive test; mmap is noexcept, so its refusal is checked through the terminate handler.
sceKernelOpen and open give an archived file a read-only null-device descriptor. Reads, positioned, vectored and AIO reads, seeks, fstat and FIONREAD are served from the archive; dup, dup2 and F_DUPFD share the position. sceKernelStat and sceKernelCheckReachability see archived paths.
Writing opens fail with EROFS, O_CREAT|O_EXCL with EEXIST and O_DIRECTORY on a file with ENOTDIR. Opening an archived directory or one merged with the disk throws until getdents can list it.
