This is going to be a continuing problem for non-Unix file systems like NTFS and NWFS that rely on the ability to read and write variable length sector runs.
It's not just non-Unix file systems. I believe that xfs will find this useful as well. It's just a timing issue, though, making a change like this is going to have to be a 2.5 thing (along with removing the 2TB limitation, and other cleanups in the buffer cache code that has been long overdue).
