According to `man blockdev':
--getsize
Print device size (32-bit!) in sectors.
Deprecated in favor of the --getsz option.
...
--getsz
Get size in 512-byte sectors.
Hence, occurrences of `--getsize' should be replaced with `--getsz',
which this commit has achieved as follows:
$ cd "$repo"
$ git grep -l -e --getsz

=========
|
|
|
|
Device-Mapper's "striped" target is used to create a striped (i.e. RAID-0)
|
|
device across one or more underlying devices. Data is written in "chunks",
|
|
with consecutive chunks rotating among the underlying devices. This can
|
|
potentially provide improved I/O throughput by utilizing several physical
|
|
devices in parallel.
|
|
|
|
Parameters: <num devs> <chunk size> [<dev path> <offset>]+
|
|
<num devs>: Number of underlying devices.
|
|
<chunk size>: Size of each chunk of data. Must be at least as
|
|
large as the system's PAGE_SIZE.
|
|
<dev path>: Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a
|
|
"major:minor" device-number.
|
|
<offset>: Starting sector within the device.
|
|
|
|
One or more underlying devices can be specified. The striped device size must
|
|
be a multiple of the chunk size multiplied by the number of underlying devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
