Hello,
I tried to use XFS with devices of sector sizes larger than 512 Byte and
failed.
Apparently there are dependencies to a fixed blocksize of 512 Byte all over
the code of XFS.
Are these contraints unavoidable by the design of XFS or could you imagine
running an XFS e.g. on a device with 4k blocksize and what needs to be done
to the code in order to do so?

Gruesse / Regards
