The "-s size=4096" helped I was able to create the file system, then mount it and use it. I did however get a warning still about "cannot set blocksize on block device". Everything seems to be working but I am a bit worried about the warning message. Following is the message. Any ideas if it is safe to ignore this or any way to get rid of it? helix-priv:~ # mkfs.xfs -s size=4096 -f /dev/vg_u00/lv_u00 mkfs.xfs: warning - cannot set blocksize on block device /dev/vg_u00/lv_u00: Invalid argument meta-data=/dev/vg_u00/lv_u00 isize=256 agcount=32, agsize=11489280 blks = sectsz=4096 attr=0 data = bsize=4096 blocks=367656960, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=1 naming =version 2 bsize=4096 log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=32768, version=2 = sectsz=4096 sunit=1 blks realtime =none extsz=65536 blocks=0, rtextents=0 Thanks Rene Chris Wedgwood wrote: > On Mon, Sep 25, 2006 at 05:11:48PM -0500, Rene Salmon wrote: > >> Warning: the data subvolume sector size 512 is less than the sector size >> reported by the device (4096). > > does "-s size=4096" help? -- - -- Rene Salmon Tulane University Center for Computational Science http://www.ccs.tulane.edu rsalmon@tulane.edu Tel 504-862-8393 Tel 504-988-8552 Fax 504-862-8392
