One would hope so. All I remember about CDROMs is they use a different blocksize which causes all sorts of funny side effects in generic code that assumes the only sane blocksize is 512.No. The point is that filesystems should not make assumptions about hardware block size (except it being power of 2 I believe). If there was code in block layer to provide broken FS's compatibility and that code has been removed, then we must fix the FS. Who's HFS maintainer ?
Orphaned I think. But I agree it should be fixed. Using loopback on the sly doesn't sound a lot cleaner than a reblocking hack in the HFS driver :-) Michael ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
