Hi all,

I've a quick question regarding how a filesystem should handle  
underlying sector sizes. In my case, EFS uses 512-byte sectors, but  
most cd-roms deal with 2048-byte blocks. For a read-only filesystem  
this should be rather straightforward to handle in the EFS code  
itself, although I think I'd have to be careful about deadlocking on  
getblk if consecutively requested 512-byte blocks lived within the  
same 2048-byte sector. Is this generally the right way to be thinking  
about this (making it the concern of the filesystem itself), or should  
I take some other approach?

Similarly, whatever happened to Koji Imada's work[1] on DEV_BSIZE and  
Bill Studenmund's related changes[2]? Are these not pertinent to what  
I'm looking at?

Thanks in advance,
Steve Rumble
