4KB blocks are great. Too bad these drives report 512B blocks to the kernel, which is what causes the problem. "Advanced format" = hybrid, not native. When we have _native_ 4KB sectors things will be much better, at least for larger file types. For mail servers native 4KB sectors will waste a lot of platter space... -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
