Are you sure you disabled temporary snapshots? You can disable
them by removing the line "snaptime", or just removing "-t", or
setting "-t none" on that line, in fossil configuration.
After disabling snapshots, have you removed the old snapshots
with "snapclean 0" in fossilcons?
In the default configuration, Fossil take temporary snapshots
every hour and discard them after two days.
How do you measure disk usage? Do you use "df" in fossilcons?

8 KB seems like a good default to me. If you really want,
you can specify a different block size with fossil/flfmt -b.
Beware it cannot be superior to 57 KB on the current
Plan 9 Venti.
