Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:24:56 -0500 From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@....cx> To: linux-ide@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: ATA support for 4k sector size The two patches following this add support for drives which have sector sizes other than 512 bytes. I haven't been able to test this as I don't have the hardware. Individual host drivers will have to be updated to support sizes other than 512 bytes. Support for logical sector sizes that differ from physical sector sizes depends on the READ CAPACITY 16 patch I posted in December that isn't in scsi-misc yet. The approach I've taken to generating the tables of which commands need a 512-byte transfer size and which use the drive's sector size command is 'innovative'. Review is encouraged ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
