| Fortunately the drive geometry isn't really used anywhere. All | accesses just use the logical block addresses. I have been meaning to suggest for ages that we remove all the geometry nonsense from everywhere in the kernel, except those drivers that actually need it - those should be responsible for converting block numbers to CHS in a way that works for thej, if they really need it (ancient ide drives before LBA addressing, vax massbus drives, sun xd drives ... anything like that which almost no-one has seen in decades). It is just bizarre to see ssd and even nvme 'drives' claiming to have cylinders and heads! kre
