Hi Dave I was just thinking should we also do + if (part_show) > blk_queue_physical_block_size(brd->brd_queue, PAGE_SIZE); The rational is that if part_show is off then we are not using partitions at all and then there can be no problems? I'll try to run your tests here. I never test xfs always ext4, maybe I should start to ;-). Actually I do have xfsprogs so why not. But if you could run a quick test as well it could be great.
