Hi!

Doesn't linux use 1k logical sector/block size for ages ?
Ah, it is irrelevant...

Just curious, will/does linux support those sector sizes "natively",
that is visible inside and outside of kernel ?

(haven't read the Book , err...  Source for a while, so those may be stupid questions)

Regards,
David
