Bug#661580: mkfs.xfs fails to detect correct sector size

[Goswin von Brederlow <goswin-v-b@web.de>]

Package: xfsprogs
Version: 3.1.7
Followup-For: Bug #661580

Hi again,

I've patched the NBD driver to set the physical sector size. Was way
easier than I imagined:

+       blk_queue_physical_block_size(lo->disk->queue, lo->blksize);
+
        while ((req = nbd_read_stat(lo)) != NULL)
                nbd_end_request(req);
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And I can confirm that the sector size detection is still broken in
3.1.7.
