The driver for this feature was being able to use disks with 4Kn sectors and yet provide 8 bytes of PI for every 512 bytes of data for backwards compatibility reasons. I had a couple of drives which supported the feature and several OEMs were requesting it. However, it turned out that using 512e drives was a much more elegant solution to this particular problem. -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
