Hi all, the loop device already contains rudimentary support for blocksizes other than 512 bytes, so this patchset enables the loop device to use a different blocksize. The new module parameter 'lbs' specify the blocksize to use, or '0' to use the blocksize of the underlying device (which defaults to PAGE_SIZE for files). Eventually it might be useful to select the blocksize per device, but the interface for that will need to be discussed.
