Won't be until 6.4 series. @limetech you probably know this already, but you can emulate a 4k native disk with qemu, AFAIK behavior is the same as the real disks: Mar 20 17:26:29 Tower kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] 805306368 4096-byte logical blocks: (3.30 TB/3.00 TiB) sfdisk /dev/sda Welcome to sfdisk (util-linux 2.28.2). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command. Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ... OK Disk /dev/sda: 3 TiB, 3298534883328 bytes, 805306368 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes After trying to add it to the array: Mar 20 17:27:07 Tower emhttp: writing GPT on disk (sda), with partition 1 offset 64, erased: 0 Mar 20 17:27:07 Tower emhttp: shcmd (118): sgdisk -Z /dev/sda &> /dev/null Mar 20 17:27:08 Tower emhttp: shcmd (119): sgdisk -o -a 64 -n 1:64:0 /dev/sda |& logger Mar 20 17:27:09 Tower kernel: sda: sda1 Mar 20 17:27:09 Tower root: Creating new GPT entries.

ETA: disk can be an image or passing-trough a 512e disk using /dev/by-id/ but making it look like a 4kn disk. Edited March 21, 20179 yr by johnnie.black
