4k-sector: wrong sector size in disk label

2013-07-22 Thread David Vasek
Hello. From the experiment below it seems that the kernel modifies its knowledge of a sector size of a disk hardware according to what can be found in the disk label sector. It does so even if the value found does not make sense hardware-wise and in spite of a sector size the hardware device d
