Subject: set blksize of block device
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 13:19:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <417FE6A8.5090803@ece.northwestern.edu> (raw)
Hello,
I am learning block device drivers and have a newbie question. Given a
block device, is there anyway that I could set its block size? For
example, I want to write a block device driver that will work on an
existing block device. In this driver, I want block size smaller. (The
idea looks confusing but I could explain if anybody is interested :- )
However, typically the block size is 1KB, now I want to set it to 512
or 256. Can I do it?
TIA
Lei
