From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 09:08:26 +0000 (+0200) Subject: virtio_blk: check for hardsector size from host X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~504^2~7 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=066f4d82a67f621ddd547bfa4b9c94631d8457b0;p=linux-2.6 virtio_blk: check for hardsector size from host Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd). Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector size than 512 byte.
