Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, List In the not-so-far future there will occure MO media on the market with 40 to 120 Gigabytes of capacity and sectorsizes of 8 KB and maybe more. It's called "UDO" technology. Is there any way to support block devices with sectors larger than 4KB ?
