From 066f4d82a67f621ddd547bfa4b9c94631d8457b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 11:08:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
