- Private mail bounced, so I am posting to the list. The sector size of
- 1024 is the problem. Currently linux only supports 512 byte sectors, although
- at some point after 1.0 is out I want to modify the kernel to accept 1024 byte
- sector disks. If anyone wants to try out patches, let me know, and I can whip
- something up.
