I send patches and get no feedback from the maintainer (you). So I work on other things instead. The 4k sector size support is largely theoretical anyway, given that every _SATA_ vendor I've heard from is planning on doing 4k physical / 512 byte logical sectors. SAS is a different matter, but is irrelevant to this series of patches. -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
