Marc G. Fournier 374bb5d261 Some very major changes by darrenk@insightdist.com (Darren King) ========================================== What follows is a set of diffs that cleans up the usage of BLCKSZ. As a side effect, the person compiling the code can change the value of BLCKSZ _at_their_own_risk_. By that, I mean that I've tried it here at 4096 and 16384 with no ill-effects. A value of 4096 _shouldn't_ affect much as far as the kernel/file system goes, but making it bigger than 8192 can have severe consequences if you don't know what you're doing. 16394 worked for me, _BUT_ when I went to 32768 and did an initdb, the SCSI driver broke and the partition that I was running under went to hell in a hand basket. Had to reboot and do a good bit of fsck'ing to fix things up. The patch can be safely applied though. Just leave BLCKSZ = 8192 and everything is as before. It basically only cleans up all of the references to BLCKSZ in the code. If this patch is applied, a comment in the config.h file though above the BLCKSZ define with warning about monkeying around with it would be a good idea.
