I saw this patch series relating to exposing DIO alignment information mentioned in lwn today https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=825cf206ed51 Do you have any ideas of whether any network filesystem could support this? There are lots of features about the server filesystem and preferred i/o sizes etc. that can be sent over the protocol (for SMB3.1.1). Looking at 6.1-rc1 - it looks like this was mainly for xfs and ext4 but is there any reason that it would be beneficial for cifs.ko - and if so is there more clarification on what information would be needed from the server to set this value? -- Thanks, Steve
