I see differing sector size and block size reports by blockdev
as follows.  Is this OK/expected or does it hint at a problem?

(all without ide-scsi:)

2.6.0, non-loopback case:

# mount
/dev/hdd on /mnt/disk type iso9660 (ro)

[root@gargoyle rddunlap]# blockdev --getss /dev/hdd
2048
[root@gargoyle rddunlap]# blockdev --getbsz  /dev/hdd
2048


2.6.0, loopback case:

I usually see the same error that you reported.
I did mount the cdrom successfully one time, with about 50
error messages like below[1], and saw this blocksize difference:
Is this OK or indicative of a (the) problem?


[root@gargoyle rddunlap]# blockdev --getss /dev/hdd
2048
[root@gargoyle rddunlap]# blockdev --getbsz  /dev/hdd
4096

2.4.2x:

[root@gargoyle rddunlap]# blockdev --getss /dev/hdd
512
[root@gargoyle rddunlap]# blockdev --getbsz  /dev/hdd
2048
