Hello, Please provide me an advice on the following issues; I'd like to use 4k block size for both MD super block I/O and regular file I/O, which will improve the performance. Q1: I noticed that it set the "blksize_size" to 4k for MD SB I/O but it use 1K for the regular file I/O. It usually set the size to 1k at system init by "md-init", then it set to 4k for MD SB I/O later. I could not find the place that set it back to 1k. However, it changes to 1 k???? How? Q2: I modified md.c to use the 4k blksize_size. It works but sometimes it crash. System "BLOCK_SIZE" is still 1k, and my hd device blksize_size=1k, too. I changed ONLY 1024 to 4096 on every occurences on md.c. What am I missing?
