Some time back, I used Partition Magic to format a device and I would swear I was able to specify 4096 as a block size. I split the device into two partitions and made one of them NTFS and the other EXT2. I can't remember for sure, but I sort of think it was on the NTFS partition that I used the 4096, but maybe it was both of them.
4096 is the 8 sector cluster size (minimum space used by one file) used in that case by the operating system's format utility.
Turns out that's the same block size being used on my SuSE drives. I keyed in -- Blockdev --getbsz /dev/hda and got back 4096. Greg Wallace -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
