Ah. This is bad news. :(

Wait a minute!

blocksize = request size = sector size ?

I think bs is only equal to one NBD-request size.

Or not?

Additionally i use 8TB with NBD, and "big" files.
The 4K or 8K sector size is not bad for me. ;-)

But my current system is "formatted" with 1K bs.
I need to rebuild my FS with 4K bs ?

Cheers,
Janos
