Thanks, it works.
However, I am having difficulty setting the block size to anything other
than 512:
vmadm tells the block size is 8192,
# vmadm get b175850d-92fd-cf81-d352-90d40e5076ce |json disks
[
{
"path":
"/dev/zvol/rdsk/zones/b175850d-92fd-cf81-d352-90d40e5076ce-disk1",
"boot": false,
"model": "virtio",
"media": "disk",
"zfs_filesystem": "zones/b175850d-92fd-cf81-d352-90d40e5076ce-disk1",
"zpool": "zones",
"size": 65536,
"compression": "on",
"refreservation": 65536,
"block_size": 8192
}
]
but inside the VM, it says the block size is 512:
> ffffff03d8df9700::print -t struct vioblk_softc sc_virtio.sc_features
sc_blk_size sc_pblk_size
uint32_t sc_virtio.sc_features = 0x10000454
int sc_blk_size = 0x200
int sc_pblk_size = 0x200
Quite confused ..
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
