block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size 2009-05-22T21:22:54+00:00 Martin K. Petersen martin.petersen@oracle.com 2009-05-22T21:17:49+00:00 e1defc4ff0cf57aca6c5e3ff99fa503f5943c1f1 Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.
