Subject: Detection of Advanced Format drives

Is there any way to detect the Advanced Format hard drives with 4K
sector size? I understand that above kernel v. 2.6.31 it is supported.
But is it possible detect automatically if the drive is an AF drive
and how?

In case this is not the correct place to ask please redirect me to
where I should look for an answer.

Thanks,

Arun
