Re: NetBSD and 4k sectors
g...@ir.bbn.com (Greg Troxel) writes: Do you really mean that the disk interface does 4KB operations, or just a disk that has 4K sectors internally but still operates as if it is 512. The 4K/512 ones (totally normal) work fine; you just have to align partitions to start at a multiple of 8*512, and it's good to use blocksize/fragsize of 32K/4K in FFS (default near 1T anyway). If you mean a device with native 4K sectors that presents a 4K interface, that's a good question. Drivers and Filesystems (well, those that are capable of handling large sectors by design) have been checked/fixed a long time ago. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de A potential Snark may lurk in every tree.
NetBSD and 4k sectors
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, can NetBSD handle hdd's with 4k sectors? There is a 1TB harddisk I'm looking for but can I use such disk with NetBSD?
