I'm sure other manufacturers will do so too... I wonder about potential effects on performance one might see re: xfs with a 4k block size and the WD hard drives with the 4k sectors. Is this a valid question? Just a curious (xfs-using) fly on the wall... __Reid__ Reid Fletcher Chief Engineer, Wyoming Public Radio University of Wyoming Laramie, WY _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
