file system sector size?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

As far as I know sector size comes with the storage device and cannot be changed, while block size is set by file system.

However, mkfs.xfs has an option of setting sector size (-ssize=). What is the purpose of having a sector size in the file system? Is this xfs specific?

Thanks,
Guangyu
