There is attempt to look from another side - is it really needed? Captain Obvious says that if one have a new disk, it's easy to format it properly - i.e. not xxx*16*63 but aligned on 4KB boundary. For example, set up geometry xxx*64*32 for all new disks and align GPT partitions on 1MB boundary. As soon as FS requests in FreeBSD are no less than 4KB in size, this would satisfy any disk. If 4KB sectors are our future for a few next years, this shall be implemented anyway... -netch- _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
