In case of 512B emulate, you can see logical block size is 512Byte and physical block size is 4KB. Although you can access 512Byte, It should be access per 4KB in order to prevent the loss of performance by RMW penalty. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
