Subject: [PATCH] mkfs: use a default sector size that is also suitable for the rtdev
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 14:54:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250127135403.525965-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)
When creating a filesytem where the data device has a sector size
smalle than that of the RT device without further options, mkfs
currently fails with:
mkfs.xfs: error - cannot set blocksize 512 on block device $RTDEV: Invalid argument
This is because XFS sets the sector size based on logical block size
of the data device, but not that of the RT device. Change the code
so that is uses the larger of the two values.
