This means that reads and writes should be on 4KiB boundaries, and writes
should be multiples of 4KiB, for optimal performance. As long as those criteria
are met, there's no harm and some real benefits of reading and writing larger
blocks than the minimum.

If the disk firmware offers it, a SMART long read/verify test
should be close to optimal. Consult smartctl
Does any optimal formula exist based on hard drive size which minimizes
time needed for checking and blanking hard drives in connection with the
block size value?

Hi all,
So I installed Debian on a 2011 iMac and it is working ok, except for the
sound. There is no sound from either the speaker or the headphone jack.
When I go to the system settings, the volum option is completely greyed out.
Running cat /proc/asound/cards in UXTerm returned this:

You can look in /proc/$PID/fd to see where the various fd points. I
guess 0 will point to /dev/zero, 1 to the hard drive and 2 to the

Sorry, yes... I forgot to mention. dmesg was absolutely silent when the
