First preference is physical sector size, then fallback to logical but it doesn't need to be noisy about it. > #define XFS_MIN_SECTORSIZE_LOG 9 /* i.e. 512 bytes */ > #define XFS_MAX_SECTORSIZE_LOG 15 /* i.e. 32768 bytes */ > > And so it should be warning about devices trying to tell it to use > something larger.... As long as the logical sector size is small enough, it seems like a silent adjustment is probably ok, no? -Eric > Cheers, > > Dave. > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
