How to create Image with different page size

Post by nadav reichler » 2017/05/14 11:47:51

I tried to mount a parition with block size larger than 4kb. the operation failed with the following error:
"Function not implemented"
(I tried enabling Huge Pages, got the same error).
After some research I found that this is probably due to the blocksize being larger than the os page size.
As I understand the page size is determined at compile time, so I'd like to try compile a kernel with different page size.

What exactly are you trying to mount?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Please don't make duplicate threads. I have merged them together.

sorry, new to the forum, I didn't see notifications or found the post so I thought I may have forgot to post it. I was trying to mount an xfs partition with block size larger than 4kb (it was a new partition)
